Thanatus vulgaris sling are growing.

These slings are from the same sack. The difference in their growth rate is just amazing.




No complaining on their apetite.

This I have labeled Thanatus sp.
I got it from work. It had rapelled down from a parrots stand we had visiting on a theme day. Way more skittish than the others when it comes to foods.

Nursery webs of some kind (correct?) out My back garden.
There was a tegenaria too but it was way too fast to snap a pic of.
I like these, they are really well hidden, It was minutes before I noticed I was surrounded by them.

I was also lucky enough to witness nature in action when I happened upon a huge pepsis wasp dragging off an A. chalcodes.
Very cool. I love the lycosid picture too.

Saw some cool spiders along West Clear Creek, ten miles east of Camp Verde, AZ. This one looks like some type of fishing spider.

Found this big ole Lycosid near my campsite and gave him/her a nice fat cricket nearby.

Oh, DUDE! A trechalea! (fishing-spider). This species is actually quite rare, only found along the gila and colorado rivers in the USA! They behave alot like a mix between a fishing spider, and a huntsman.

Scotophaeus blackwalli rescued from the shower.. Poor girl was caked in soap, so I sprayed her clean, then quickly tossed her on a towel to dry off. And yes, this was all done while naked. :p

My first shot with fangs.:biggrin:

By the way, guys, thanks for so many great shots. I love it when people take the trouble to take brilliant, close-ups. Spiders are such amazing creatures to watch.
