Migraine-induced insomnia tonight, so have some more pics of the spider organs 3d model. A few tweaks since last pics; had to adjust the positions of some organs to match up with the outside of the body.

Got the abdomen ready to print, so we'll see how it goes!

Screenshot of a 3d model of a spider, back/top view. The spider's body is translucent, showing internal organs: silk glands in dark blue, nervous system in yellow, ovaries in pink, digestive system in orange, circulatory system in light blue, respiratory system in green, venom glands in purple.

Abdomen is done, mostly. The rest of the "space" is mostly digestive glands (I think?), which I'll add once I see how this works printed/painted.

The weird tabs on the book lungs/spinnerets, are openings for me to put paint into the cavities. We'll see how it works!

For #FossilFriday, meet a weirdo. This is a phalangiotarbid arachnid. The animals are weird - lots of their segments are bunched up towards the middle on the top surface, but not on the bottom. High resolution CT doesn't reveal that much more than you see in the rock.

Photographs of the dorsal (left) and ventral (right) surfaces of a fossil in a dark red brown ironstone nodule. The fossil is lozenge shaped, has a series of transverse lines - evenly spread out on the right, but in the middle on the left. This is the body of the arachnid, and sticking out from here are a few clear legs.

A CT scan of the fossil in the other picture. The body here is white, and legs different shades of purple. There is a dorsal and ventral view, and also close ups of the mouthparts, and two legs.

I think all the organs and such in the cephalothorax are done. Still working on the abdomen. (Spider internal organs 3d model. Hopefully will eventually be 3d printed.)

Spider people, how's it looking?

Spider organs 3d model WIP. The plan is to 3d print in clear resin, with the organs as cavities I can fill with colored paint. I don't know if this will work!

(Spider experts, feel free to offer advice. Be gentle, I'm learning spider biology as I go. This is a mygalomorph.)

Red-Legged Golden Orb-Weaver spider (Trichonephila Inaurata) with its packed lunch. These are big critters, about the size of a hand! Diani Beach, Kenya, 2023.

This tiny creature is a pseudoscorpion, which is a separate clade of arachnids alongside spiders, scorpions, and so on. These are tiny animals - I believe this one was less than 3mm across. They're rare to find, so it's always exciting to see one!

A tiny arthropod with pincers similar to a scorpions raised up in the air. It has brownish stripes along its back, and pale cream-coloured sides to its abdomen. It is standing on dark brown wood.

A tiny spider that I found on the mango tree at home. First image to give some reference, second one is a macros shot, but it is still too tiny for my lens to provide too much details.
