Received this little (1cm leg span) lass today. Calommata signata.

Tried to get some pics but the little rascal wouldn't keep still.

3 spiders that feed in very different ways.

I laugh every time I see a sand spider burying itself.

These guys are cool. Sometimes I have found half a dozen or more living in my blueberry plants.

Finally I once again own one of these magnificent spiders. Macrothele gigas. Small sling around 3cm leg span at the moment.

Rubbish pics but I'll get some better one once "she" (fingers crossed) has settled in.

With how quick these guys move, I bet the spinnerets act like a rear spoiler on a car.

The amount of silk they can put down is astounding.
