I love the way the media always has to jump all over it, you would not hear a single thing about it if this guy found someones dog in his apartment.
Lol. Take it easy, man. It's a four sentence article. Not exactly "the media jumping all over it".

And now let's play a game of spot the spider! This is probably my favourite pic of all the pics I've ever taken. I love seeing the looks on people's faces when they realize they aren't just looking at a flower.

Could someone circle the spider in this pic? I cant find it

It's small and in the bottom, right quadrant of the flower sitting on the white petals. Look for the dark spots that are the spider's eyes.

If a water droplet can paralyze you with a small bite on your ankle, wrap you up still alive in a cocoon, then drag you back to its den for its thousand young to slowly drain you of your life-fluid, then yes, yes it is a water droplet.

Cool, so I just read about the crab spider, the one in my pic, and apparently some of them can change colour. Very sweet man.

I have never seen a bright blue tarantula......not even on TV.

In what natural habitat does that color benefit the tarantula??

They hunt at night so it is not that bad.

The ones in my yard haven't figured out how to do purple. Actually they can only change between white and yellow. Nevertheless, they are very effective predators - this individual caught at least 5 bees last summer.



Also - Whipscorpion FTW! (harmless, but I don't think I'd appreciate one on my head).

When I was in Hawaii on the main island two Christmases ago with my family, I encountered a centipede. After a shower one night I sat down on my bed with my feet over the edge and I felt a large pinch. I looked down to see the largest centipede I've ever seen scurrying away. I didn't sleep in that room all week.
