Fantastic Bookworm My oldest wants to do a similair thing in a few years, I must point her to this thread

Looks like hard but rewarding work!!

That sounds like heaven, bookworm,

and not like studying

Great experience

Awesome Bookworm

Thanks everybody.

Does anyone know what type of spider it is that I posted between those photos of mine?

I have seen a spider like that before but this is the first time that I could actually take a picture of it.

I would really like to know.

THANKS

This is a spider that we found while we cleaned one of the enclosures. If someone can please give me an ID on it, I will be grateful. I saw this spider on a previous occasion but I still don't know what type of spider it is. As you can see it is shiny, that is because it is a silver spider.

I think, it's a Garden spider of the genus Argiope perhaps A. australis.

Have a look here:

Hi Toko.

Thanks for the link but I don't think it is a garden spider because everywhere where it is so shiny in that picture, it is silver. And it is quite a big spider (almost as big as the palm of ones hand - legs included).

But I really appreciate your help

I almost walked into a garden spider when cleaning one of the enclosures

I have no idea, but would run if I spotted that It's an evil looking mother

fantastic, genial, superb.... wow what a chance

thank you for all these pictures... and present all the guests

A wonderful way to spend your working time...

Your pictures are all beautiful and from the expression on your face, I can see you are loving it.

Best wishes with your next course
