They are quite small. Here’s one stroking Abraham Lincoln’s cheek.
You can also see the juvenile coloration — the adults wil be solid black, with just a red mark on the ventral abdomen. One thing I noticed was that when I put them in a container with a jumble of moss, they practically disappear, even with the bright red markings. More than once I transferred a spider to a new container and lost it, and had to poke around to be sure I hadn’t accidentally set it free on the lab bench.
Wait until you see the bats.
I hate to think what they get up to on Halloween. 8-0
^ Oh sorry, that was of course in response to the heartwarming tale of the desiccated pygmy shrew. Logging on sometimes sends one awry
Hang on, if it big enough to be stroking Abrahm Lincoln’s cheek that must make it human sized ! Aaaarrgrghhh! Ruyn away ! Run away!
Also a time travelling spider if it can do that or was Lincoln a time traveller her e as wellas a vampire hunter!?
They are so shiny, at first glance I thought they were in a bubble of water.
