Guess who just came into their room and found an escaped tarantula on their wall.
And for maximum fun it is one of my balfouri communal. Apparently the lid of their tank didn't latch properly after the last time I fed them. I'm not even 100% sure how many are supposed to be in there these days, so even though I've now recaptured that escapee I have no way of knowing if there are any more lose in here.

Oops.
That's a top of the page post for sure.
Thank you for adding a new nightmare to my list.

I got four new slings today. Pterinochilus murinus "Mikumi", "Kinsoma", and "Zimbabwe" forms, to get me slightly closer to my completed Pterror Army.
And a Psuedohapalopus sp. "Colombia", which is the smallest tarantula I've ever seen. I made an embarassing noise when I opened up the pot and saw it for the first time.
That little wheel bug has to be newly hatched (well, not newly newly hatched. It has already darkened. But 1st instar).

Yup, it's extremely wee. I had a bad moment when I looked down and saw this leggy little black thing taking cover in my arm hair, because my first assumption when I see a big red abdomen is that it's currently packed full of my delicious blood.
But then I had a closer look and realized who it was, and I put them back outside to begin their murderous spree. I hope to meet them again when they're a heavy metal band mascot the length of my finger joint.

I have named it Speck.
Great lil spode
Sorry, little buddy. I'm not psyched about lawnmowing season either, but I need my yard boots back.
Take care when you're doing yard work, everyone. There are assassins everywhere.
