I'm a little uncertain here: How do you really feel about hunstman spiders?

dunno, but i thought you meant harvestmen spiders, which aren't actually spiders and i was about to correct you.

or i must have switched the two.

huntsman spiders are not the same as harvestmen, which are arachnids but not spiders. I learned that last year I think it was. They still look like spiders though
ick

Personally, I find Golden Orb Spiders especially 'Aaaagh!' inspiring.

i find them "ooooh" inspiring as well.

anyone a fan of jerusalem crickets?

Then you'll love this golden orb!


And while we're at it, a trap-door spider with her egg sack

and here is her lair

Icky, icky, icky!

But thank you.....though I would not have gotten that close to a spider that size who was watching over her eggs.

Those pictures were actually taken by an Aussie acquaintance of mine. He actually brought her home with him and took some pics before releasing it the next day.

Came to see what my friends were up to.

Leaving again.

I'd look back to see whose idea this was, but then I'd see more.

Assuming that Moomin Valley does not have spiders?

We have ghost spiders. They catch ghost bugs in their webs.

^ Poor Ghost Bugs. They can't even get peace in Ghosthood.

I think Moomin Valley is dedicated to spiders!

The above spider is obviously a remote relative of Snufkin, and below we have a Moomin who looks happy (and not shocked) to see its spider friend.

How talented of you to crochet a Moomin for Moomingirl!

That spider is not crochet, is it?

Sorry, but I couldn't crotchet that to save a turtle's life. They're just some images I found and used because they fit the joke. It looks to me like the spider is made from the type of pearls I used to make images when I was a kid.

i'll take the blame.

Bad Kip, bad.

I love the crochet Moomin Skilpadde.

Sylkat, sadly there are spiders, but I avoid them as much as I can.
