Re: Tropical Spiders
Bark spiders are awesome! You seem to see a lot of feeding behavior....sheer luck, or do you always bring a li'l snack baggie to the forest? (not that it makes a difference!)

Re: Tropical Spiders
If they are not eating, mating or doing something interesting, I'll just pass and look for something else. Unless, of course, it's a species I don't have yet.Hans Breuer (twoton) wrote:Bark spiders are awesome!
