[QUOTE=Roo-kie;13409243] latley I've been finding all these odd spiders, one that has a body like a crab, I'm still trying to track down its name, you wouldn't happen to know what it may be?[/QUOTE] Body like a crab eh? Would it be the Spiny Orb Weaver? [img]http://i40.tinypic.com/9lk8ko.jpg[/img] I found lots of them in Costa Rica, as well as in Florida all over the place. Wouldn't be surprised if you have them over there, too.

Sweet photos.
[QUOTE=Roo-kie;13409243]That spider is pretty badass. was gonna ask you but you've been away. Have you ever seen St. John's Cross Spiders?

All I can see though is: "Sparkvenom, extra fast, extra strong, lightning enchanted."
These are very cool, but I think if I saw one in person, I'd be using the camera to bat it away. Then I'd probably accidentally squish it, and then vomit everywhere.
Cool spider Postal

I'm so happy I don't live where Postal lives -- these things are common as hell where he is, but when I see one it's like "wow look at that". And I'm happy because I'm afraid of spiders.
he doesn't live in costa rica
M_B, are you and Postal an item? you seem to know a lot about him...
[QUOTE=daviddorn;17224357]Geeze man, how can you so casually just stick your finger right next to that thing...[/QUOTE] because it's just a spider.
