Live Stoner Chat Pure White Spider With Legs That Imitate Pistils

[Waira]

:High 5: extra cool beans Canna'! Crab spiders are fascinating, and ruthless little muggers! None are safe, good bugs, bad bugs, all will be turned into a dessicated shell a so much poo...! ....LOL! Sniper- I do see that! Goauto6 might get a charge out of that- LOL!... They like to hang out on my plants too, but by flowering time I oust them to avoid getting too much silk-line build up on the buds... otherwise, they're welcome pest control units... Scope this beaut' out Canna' : -- https://www.autoflower.org/f142/wairas-side-sweet-cremes-22698-2.html#post442980 ... one of the bigger ones I've seen here in 30 years,... she could easily hide the better part of a silver dollar with her body! sadly, the other horrified posters' bad Ju-Ju scared her away a couple days later! :roflcry:

 

[Cannaficiando]

She's a beauty, waira, but a lightweight compared to some of the jungle spiders we get here. TaNg's Thang

Any pest control unit is welcome in my garden. My ladies get attacked almost every day, mostly from ants planting scale bugs on the stems. The perils of outdoor growing...

Wonder if blue will come back to this thread. Probably the stuff of nightmares for her. :twist:

 

[Waira]

LOL! I gather you are being literal about 'jungle'? Without being too specific, what kind of jungle we talking about there? :brow: Certainly, the largest known species all come from this general type of environment... Large is one thing, but toxic and large is another thing altogether,... you're not in an area that has the giant centipedes, are you?...like 10+" of ancient hell? Ants,... what a mind blower those are (from a biologists perspective! LOL!)... but we have no appreciation for them herding vermin onto our ladies,... almost lost a very nice Kaffir lime tree to the hard Scale those little poop-stains planted on it a couple years ago,...! yeah, outdoors, it's constant sweeps, like a constable on patrol, that keeps the vermin in check! ... not the most unpleasant task though, to inspect the girls..! :roflcry: *** Mz. blue will be back,..probably! After all, she showed up once knowing it was a spider posting! LOL! Cheers, mate!... be safe out there...:tiphat:

Horrified! ^_^ .. just came back here for a scare!

Mz. blue will be back,..probably! After all, she showed up once knowing it was a spider posting!

Haha, you called it Waira! I checked your link, despite the size of that monster in the web, i'd still be more disgusted with the white and yellow one!

They straight up give me the creeps!

 

[Waira]

Mz. Blue} LOL! Yes, I laugh, but I do understand too,...there are certain features in creatures that can trump size, species, or facts,... it is this specific thing, some aspect, that pushes something about a creature out of mere disgust or creepiness, and into the mental/psychological realm of true disturbance, phobia, and terror,.... others just may not see or feel what the big deal is,... it's certainly not about sense or logic, is it,... :brow: My Mom could handle reptiles, bugs/spiders,... but birds warped her mind! The biologist in me finds no one creature terrifying, and I have respect for all, but it doesn't mean I necessarily like them all... Several are on my shit-list, for fair reason! LMAO!! But here's one that's on my "what's good' list...
<-- Blue Belly baby, a couple days old or so....pretty cute, if you're okay with lizards that is....:

The white one is only about half an inch in size, blue. Cute enough to put on a keyring. :no:

Waira, that little feller is a beauty. A couple of weeks ago, I was having lunch with some friends in an outdoor sala , a kind of Thai pavilion. From out of the blue (sorry) a four-foot-long snake landed in my soup with a foot long gecko in its mouth. Exit snake stage left; gecko the opposite way. I love wildlife, but not that close! :Foxy:

 

[Waira]

Whoa! -shit-the-bed, brother! That was not the main course arriving early, I gather?! My question is, how many feet into the air did you seem to levitate out of your seat when it happened? :roflcry: And which part of the stage did you and the others dive for? All humor aside, it must have been rather alarming at the time, since as likely as not, it was something venomous....Any idea what kind of snake it was? I'm glad you (we) can laugh about now,... :smoke: I wonder, what would Blue do? LMAO!!

 

[Cannaficiando]

Any idea what kind of snake it was?

Hey waira...it was a snake I know well - Chrysopelea, aka Flying snake, aka, Golden Tree snake. Beautiful green and gold coloring; harmless to humans. The gecko, in case you're wondering, was a Leopard variety. It all happened so quickly, I don't remember how high we jumped. Probably broke some kind of 'jumping from a sitting position' record. :clap:

I wonder, what would Blue do? LMAO!!

The mind boggles...

 

[Waira]

Oh dewd! :High 5: That is as cool as it gets!! Pardon my geek, but Flying Snakes are an evolutionary masterpiece, just unbelievable! The physical modifications are one thing, but the behavioral is even more mazing.. Snakes, no matter how arboreal, hate to freefall... my Ball python shows this very,...strongly! He climbs very well, but he grips like something hydraulic-powered if he feels himself slipping...Yet here we have a species that willingly hurls itself from the canopy, them air-slithers to gain distance and direction, and lands not so gracefully usually, unharmed... *whew* thank the gods it wasn't a viper of some sort!... And the gecko, those are mind-blowing in their own right... saw a show that feature a study group looking to duplicate the gekkos' foot pad design,... the electron microscope images of the microstructural details of their feetpads were fantastic,... Say, I don't know if the Tokay Gekko is a native as well,...those things are nasty! :firedevil: ...beautiful, surreal colors, but not to be admired up close... LOL!- the lady I bought my python from had a 14" one running lose in the pet shop, because nobody would screw with for any money, not even her! She would feed it small mice when she spotted it on occasion...with 4' tongs! *** Too bad there's no footage of the incident! I'm certain some record were broken that day,... LMAO!! did any of them ever come back for lunch again?

Waira that looks alot like the lil fence lizards we have around here. And if you wanna see a work of art by nature. Googlize poecilotheria regalis or poecilotheria metallica. I had a couple very large, almost 10 inches as pets for years. Sorry I dont have pics to upload of mine, ill have to scan them in
