        That’s fascinating. Knowing me I’d probably spend extra time in the garden just observing the little critter. Like dammit he’s got me invested now! Lol

            God had nothing to do with spiders (:

      They don’t look sharp. That’s actually pretty fascinating, the variety of claws and hooks to use for webs and such.

    In case anyone is curious, most of these appear to be the tarantula Avicularia avicularia. Common name is, appropriately, the pinktoe tarantula.

        Some of those 9 are in the background/blurry, not really “featured” in the picture.
