What do you think people? Quรฉ piensa la gente?
Some will never finish the work set out to be done. Not because we didn't try but because the work is larger that any of us. Taxonomy is one such thing. #midjourney #taxonomy

Marpissa nivoyi (Salticidae)!
I found Marpissa nivoyi for the first time back in April at Berrow Dunes, Somerset. All specimens were tiny juveniles. Returned to Berrow last weekend and had the privilege of finding many adults of this Nationally scarce species ๐ #TurnFear2Fascination #LoveSpiders

There are many spiders to describe, especially in tropical countries ๐ธ๏ธ๐ท๏ธ๐ฆ
There is no future. There is no past. There is only now. And there it goes.

And not only on pseudoscorpions! What do you think, arachno-people?
I know of some cases, and not only in the old world... This is one of the great brakes (the egomania of some) that prevent the advancement of sciences and the knowledge of species, especially in those regions with an enormous biological diversity.
