Quick Biological Update

I've got some great photos of a couple critters.

First up is the Golden Silk Orb-weaver. It's a spider I saw today that measured about 8-10 cm long with its legs stretched out. It's body isn't as thick as the huntsman spider but it was more elongated and more colourful.



"She has a lovely underbelly. Cool patterns and bright colours."

 "The large female occupies most of the photo. The male is the small spider above her. Balls of the food are above."

"One of the guys ran into the web after forgetting that it was there. She wasn't happy. As you can see from all the bunched up bits, she's been well fed."

The other guys I got a picture of were the Green Tree Ants. They're annoying little f***ers that bite you whenever you come close. Especially if you disturb a nest. They're not very big but they swarm quickly.


"These things are everywhere on treed slopes."
