Here's a few fancy spiders for this #butterflyday by @whatisnew

First off we have this fluffy looking beast. I have no idea what the true name of this tarantula is but it must be pretty rare.

Next up we have a giant birdeater tarantula. These guys are bigger than your hand. And yes they do eat birds if they can get ahold of them. They mostly eat giant roaches on the jungle floor though.

Another view of the birdeater. They are pretty slow and docile when they get this large.

Next on the opposite end of the size spectrum we have this little dwarf tarantula. This one has a heart shape on its butt lol perfect for valentine's day.

Now for the skeleton knees. There are quite a variety of skeleton knee tarantulas. I suspect this one is a gold skeleton knee tarantula.

And another golden knee skeleton tarantula.

Here's yet another type of skeleton knee. I have no idea what kind this one is as the animal show didn't have them labeled. Probably has an obscure latin name.

This one did have a label. Its a Chilean Copper, this gal was almost as big as the goliath birdeater. It has quite a few shimmery copper looking hairs.

Here's another unlabeled spider that has a copper color. Its pretty hairy my best guess is possibly a Chilean Rosehair spider...

Another unlabeled spider. This one has quite a snazzy suit on. Probably headed to a formal dinner somewhere where they serve gourmet hissing roaches lol.

This big black one just wanted to get out.

Now for a random emperor scorpion. This guy was about 6 inches long from tail to claw.

Finally a random rhino beetle sitting proudly on his log. Too bad there wasn't another rhino beetle to fight him, let the betting begin. I put 10 Yen on the bigger one lol. Happy #butterflyday sorry no butterflies made it into this edition lol. Spiders ate them all.

Hola. Me gustan sus fotos de las arañas. @sketch.and.jam. Me llama la atención las peludas sobre todo la primera imagen. luego la de rodilla de esqueleto peluda. No sabía que los nombres de las arañas latinas eran oscuros. Me pregunto que tanto se acerca a una araña para lograr estas fotos?.

Hi. I like your pictures of spiders. @sketch.and.jam. The hairy catches my attention especially the first image. then the hairy skeleton knee. I didn't know that the names of the Latin spiders were dark. I wonder how much you approach a spider to achieve these photos ?.

I got a few inches away from them with my smartphone lol. All these spiders are actually pretty tame and can be hamdled. Even the scorpion can be handled carefully. The more hair on the spider the more it can sense you are not food and then it knows that it can't bite you.

It is good to know that they are not poisonous to man. I take the photos and then find out if they are evil. I hope a good day doesn't surprise me. Hahaha. It has excellent collection.

Fortunately no brazilian wandering spiders were there. Those are poisonous enough to kill a horse.

It is a very big risk when your looking for them to take the picture. Success in your spider hunting.
