Our Furry Little Friend Puts Some Hairs On End

[E.J.H.]

Thanks! Those are also beautiful spiders, remind me of a species I've seen in Yugoslavia, the wasp spider.

The white marking on the thorax remind me of traditional SE Asian masks, although I only have a passing familiarity, even the red and black are commonly used, are they not. The first work reminds me of a snarling tiger.
Thanks for sharing, Des!

Wow, those other spiders are amazing. I've never seen spiders like that before. I'm impressed, although they look poisonous.

Wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole although Sunny told me that they were not poisonous

☝That's the fertile (or should one say febrile?) imagination of the artist for you.

Another SE Asian spider. I don't know what the Latin name is, but in the UK it is commonly known as a bloody big one.

Colour coordination a Cat Fancier would be proud of.

Bloody hell!

 

[Iain]

That's another "Common name".

Bloody hell indeed

This is a favourite. A species of Harvestman, which are related to Arachnids, apparently. There was some broken Rudbeckia flowers, stems, that I brought in from outside, unaware, of course, of the stowaway. 14/09/13.

On the ceiling.

Cool, een hooiwagen! I like his outstretched pose on the leaf.

I hadn't seen a Harvestman that lay flat like that. Even when they are at rest, their legs, at least, are off the ground. Maybe this one was especially tired - knackered as we say.
