------HEY HOWDY------

I'm Jade (She/They), and I take photos and videos of arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods, and related species) both out of interest and for the sake of sharing, documentation, and information!

All creatures in my photos and videos were found out in the free open of Mississippi, as that's where I live, and are returned to the wild safely if handled, unless otherwise stated!

Observations seen here can also be found on iNaturalist under the same username, jupiterswasphouse! (The backlog is still in the process of being added at the time of this update)

⚠️ Photos and videos taken by me should, preferably, not be reuploaded directly or used to train a generative AI without my express permission, however, they may generally be used under the same rules as a standard CC BY-SA 4.0 Attribution-Sharealike license, that being that they may be used in your own works provided that the used photos and/or videos come with proper credit to "jupiterswasphouse" or "Jupiter's Wasp House" (For questions regarding the use and distribution of my media, feel free to message me or direct the questions to my ask box)
