(agree!)I also like millipedes and centipedes - VERY different creatures and attractive for their opposite characteristics -inoffensive, slow and vegetarian
They are fascinating to watch .....................................
Brilliant little things.
My other half has taken an interest in spiders and requested a spotters guide for Xmas. Apparently to identify a lot of them correctly you have to be able to see their eyes.
In my view if you can see their eyes you're either far too close or the spider is far too large...
More usually it is the genetalia that are diagnostic.
should go to Skuon in Cambodia. Had a few interesting dinners there
Thanks for the pointers Vinny but as a massive arachnophobe* I also don't want to be so close I can see their spidery wedding tackle...
*fear of massive spiders.
Put your mind into neutral and admire their beauty (from afar).
