Some pictures taken during the last week or so…
My office spider, a male Lasiodora parahybana. He has a small fan club led by a middle-school girl (her curiosity and fearlessness rock).

A couple dart frog pictures taken when I dropped by a fellow frogger’s place to pick up a D. fantasticus. An E. bassleri Black in an ?Aechmea?:
*
And a Phyllobates terriblis – the really toxic one – looking tough.
*
Shifting gears a bit – a couple awful pictures of a killer vehicle. Spotted in Portsmouth on a misty evening, a Swedish Unimog. It looks like it’s set up for pumper duty – man, I love these trucks!

It’s odd, I’m frightened of delicate spiders, but tarantulas have always seemed rather cute to me. Like eight-legged hamsters.
