Funny thing about spider shapes.

[whoami?]

I just noticed that my freshly molted T. blondi's cephalothorax is actually larger than that of my big G. rosea. And the blondi's legs are almost the same length as those og the G. rosea.

But somehow the G. rosea just looks a helluva lot bigger.

And the blondi does have to do some fattening up. It's abdomen is pretty small after molting. But it's just not a very bulky spider. Even the legs are really skinny, even though they're long.

I'm sure you've probably noticed this sort of thing before, but I haven't.
