more kooky arachnids

Well after bugging the triangular spider all week it started raining and she has disappeared:cry But did get a few decent ones before she left:

I know the leaf on the left is distracting here but I loved the face so much I couldn't delete this one. For a small spider (abdomen around the same size as my thumb nail) it had a ton of attitude!

And next up, a Scorpion Tailed Spider. I love these things, so glad to find one in my yard.

This is an average sized female, about 11mm. They can get up to 20mm. The male is about 2mm and has no tail.

Thanks for looking:D

Hey, when you were showing me these shots the other night,
I didn't realise that last shot was all spider, I thought the spider was partially inside a piece of the plant it was sitting on.
Wow that is a very cool find Tara, two very unusual spiders

Well done girl
