The subreddit for cute pictures of bugs, lobsters, squid, and other non-Vertebrata.
Because they're adorable too.
For adorable invertebrates.
This is a no-nope zone. No "kill it with fire" here.
All adorable invertebrates welcome from all taxa (except Vertebrata)! If you want to post a cute invertebrate, posting a link to a Wikipedia article in a comment or posting a paragraph about the animal is highly encouraged, and if you can find its scientific name, it is not required, but encouraged to put it in the title. Also, give credit to the original photographer/source where available.
Every Wednesday is Watery Wednesday - for aquatic invertebrates.

Got a new sweet little Greenbottle Blue tarantula! I work at a major university in the entomology library and they are going to be on display there! I've asked my students for name suggestions but thought I'd reach out here too. Can't wait to show yall their fancy new enclosure when it's all set up!
I went through some of my photos on my camera and came across a photo of a bunch of aphids doing aphid things :D
I think is a female since the only notable difference in males and females is the palps and males are way more rare than females.
Uloboridae are a family of spiders that do not posses any venom at all and instead they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgutated digestive enzymes and then ingest the liquified body.
My two babies, Hierodula membranacea, (Mimi), Heterogeneous laoticus (Ripley), and my one adult, Latrodectus elegans (Pluto). I love invertebrates!!!! (My gf wanted to also add that she named all of them and that Mimi is her favourite)
