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.

Sharing your cute invertebrate-related artwork is fine, but please do not link to shop sites or advertise items for sale.

    Please delete this if it breaks the rules. I don't think my website counts as a shop site.

    Me and my friend made a website about a millipede named Jimmy Dean, and it would be nice if you guys checked it out. (: https://the-jimmy-community.ju.mp/

    A non arachnid

    Found this little guy in my baby Androctonus enclosure, I guess he or she pupated in there! That's what I get for expecting Faarquad to eat. Decided to spare them and give them a home. Any name suggestions?

    Can anybody recommend me a beginner friendly, non-tarantula spider?

    I was planning on getting a tarantula as a little challenge, since I haven't kept one before, but my landlord clearly stated that if that thing gets out, I have to pay any and all costs to get it back, and, if necessary, to evacuate the building. So can anyone recommend me a spider species that doesn't have a dangerous bite or urticant hair? Some friends have said Eresus walckenaeri, but I read that they can be a bit dicky.

    Can anyone give me advice for breeding Cosmoderus femoralis?

    I recently acquired a pair of them, but have no idea on how they are bred. If anyone could give me help/advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
