A Spider's tale.

There was a huntsman spider on my desk last night, and this morning, I thought there were 2 of them, until I realised that last night's spider had moulted, and that spider 2 was just an exoskeleton. I removed said spider to a frangipani cutting, and took a few pikkies. The skeleton was nearly 120mm span, and I suppose it had outgrown that, and was looking for something with a bit more room. The jaws are quite formidable, as are the hairs and spikes on the leg.

I hope this doesn't give anyone nightmares


Happy New Year to you all, and thanks to the Moderators for all your hard work during the year.
