I went to the community garden this morning. Everything went wrong.
Slave was falling apart. You just cant buy decent slaves anymore!

Here are the results. Any ID's would be great, please. I am starting to learn a bit more about different types of spiders and bugs.

1. Hairy spider - 4 eyes

2. spider - 8 eyes

3. some spiderlings I think. Crap shot but I thought I would show y'all anyway.

4. longhorn/longicorn beetle (maybe)

5. There was a whole bunch of caterpillars demolishing heaps of leaves.

    Hey Steve congratulations on the babies rolleyes1.gif
    You'll have plenty of photo ops if they survive.

    That second spider looks like he's probably got a decent pair of fangs.
    I think your Beetle is the pick of the bunch, nice comp. on that one clap.gif

    Thanks for sharing ... Skippy :D
