please be macro...please be macro.
Not macro.
There goes my morning.
Catch one of these...etherize it, dry it out (or embed it in acrylic resin)and send it to me. It is the only way I'll find closure.

I was using the macro lens and my camera was less than an inch from ol' Hairy here. Steph says this one is small compared to the ones she worked with in borneo.

What does she mean "worked with?" I mean, did she harness them up as plough-spiders? Did she ride them into battle? Were they training to be seeing eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye spiders? Did she try to soothe their arachnid minds to they would not replace the robot lords as our overseers?

LOL. I got to go to Borneo for 2 weeks as an intensive course in Rainforest Ecology. We were in the middle of pristine Asian lowland rainforest and one of the things we did while at the base was to break into group and conduct a study of an animal group. I wanted to do bats but ended up in the spider group. We went out into the rainforest in the morning and evening everyday for a week and caught as many spiders as we could find and measure the length of one of their legs as part of our project. The little ones were killed but the big ones, mostly tarantulas, we brought back to the lab and measured them live and let them go. The wild orangutans and monkeys were much cooler.
