Ms. Understood Spider
I love teaching kids and adults about misunderstood creatures! I specialize in helping others overcome their fear. I also rescue inverts and provide pet sitting.
I have a menagerie of tarantulas, true spiders, mantids, millipedes, whips, scorpions, etc.

I'm so excited to share a sampling of the new legs in the lair! And rest assured, there are many (many) more in store. I have almost all of the arthropods covered [Warning: gratuitous self promotion embedded in same] ***for the FREE EXPO IN DERRY, NH on Saturday,3.14, from 10-4 ***, even down to the crustaceans! Anyhow, lots of new species to me, including some very unusual jumpers. I cannot wait to share with everyone - what a great way to spend Ο (pi) day!

Mark your calendar! I'll be heading to as on March 14th! I'll have some new species available, including a couple of the last remaining flower mantids I bred and raised here in NH! I'll also have some fun and less common, well started (dare I say juvenile) female tarantulas that are great for beginners too! I have so many cool projects rolling out and getting more and more fun as the year continues! What are you hoping to pick up?
This is a great reel! I'm constantly [mentally] correcting people when it comes to these misunderstood creepy crawlies that I teach about - they are often thought of as bugs but they aren't bugs at all! The more you know π. Spread the word!

And just like that, I'm a grandma! C. apicalis flower mantids will be available soon! And those aren't the only ones that I've got cooking! ππ»

Join us in Manchester, NH tomorrow for a great cause - supporting small businesses and senior pups! My talented student will be showcasing their art, and you can learn about and interact with unique animal curiosities. My own child will be trying out his acting skills as a business mascot of his design and choosing. Will it last? Will it work? Whether you're an animal lover or just looking for something cool, we've got you covered. See you tomorrow!

Come visit me on my first exclusive expo! I'll be there under my business name, Animus Obscurus, but you can't have that without Ms. Understood Spider, the educational side. Go check out the demo below and when you're done, come by and get a 1:1 Q&A with yours truly. I would love to help you get over your fears (no purchase ever necessary!). β₯οΈ
RRS Oasis is going to be doing 2 educational presentations the day of the expo at their table! One at 11am and one at 3pm!
Check them out if you are able!!

Exciting news! What happens when learning goes right? It turns to like and respect, which eventually leads to love and protect. So many kids and adults I've worked with to conquer their fears have wanted to then add to their family. Now I can help you find the right pet for your lifestyle and those important in your life. Exciting to be starting this new chapter!
πππ Fall is in the air and with that, Halloween! ππ»π·οΈ Really, the best time of the year, if you ask me! I thought I'd share this informational reel all about spiders and Halloween; interesting to all ages if you like spiders. That said, I can imagine he may be a bit of a fun sponge at a Halloween party. ππ

πππππ Major props to the πroyaltyπ at for creating a fly culture that's off the charts... and smells like cherries π! I'm just glad I didn't lose my fly investment when I missed the shipping notification. These little guys were living their best life in the parcel area, frosty conditions and all! Pay no attention to the condensation. When life gives you frost, make life super fly. πͺπΌπ¦
