The rainspider was really huge... at least for my taste... like my hand (including the legs, that is)
But "rainspider" explains why it would always sit in the shower.
Not sure about the elegance of a wall crab spider

Mel, you must have noticed that Toko has strange tastes in certain fields

Can anyone help with an ID for this moth (or at least I think it's a moth)? It was spotted in the garden at Evita se Perron in Darling in late April 2016.

Many thanks for the ID, Toko
However, one thing puzzles me. Why is the post that you refered me to, which is of my photo, dated
19 Oct 2014, 17:27 ??? I only took my photo in
May 2016 ...

Hi Arks,
Toko is away for a few days.
It is most likely a technical question. In order to place your photo at the right place in the AW book of Invertebrates, the date must be the same as the others of the same family, if not the system places it at the end being the most recent one. Posts are automatically put in order of date.
