Happy International Jumping Spider Day! 🕷️ To celebrate, we have another great citizen science discovery. Donna Juanita photographed this undiscovered species on her property and kindly invited us over to sample it. We later found that it also lives in a nearby nature reserve!

Not to brag, but we have a dazzling collection of fossil shark specimens, like these Hemipristis serra. Shark teeth are common finds here in Florida because our state has been surrounded by--and sometimes under--water. #FossilFriday
