Got an email from a colleague that referred to self-isolating as 'cocooning' which I really love because it implies we will come out on the other side of this more mature, more beautiful, and perhaps capable of flight. 🐛🦋

Great 7x7 presentation last night @WildDunedin by @botanyotago PhD student @CroftsBennett about spider body language! Sadly the host said she was glad she wasn't close to the huge (gorgeous) spider closeups. Just the "spiders are scary" reaction James was arguing against! We♥️🕷
