A few days back, Callan posted some really awesome pictures of some of his local arthopods. I thought I'd share some crawlies as well, although mine aren't local. These are pictures from a muggy mountain hike on Taboga, an island on the pacific side of Panama.
I didn't put any scale bar on this one, but this damn caterpillar was around seven inches long, and started waggling it's head around when we got close to get a picture.
This was a pissed off tarantula, who was busy hunting, and didn't want his picture taken. About as big as my hand (my hands are 38 inches across).
But what was neater was that the frogs were smaller than this spider!
ReplyDeleteHands "38 inches across" are macro-hands!
