What would it be like to live as a butterfly, being admired by the world for your color and beauty and grace? What would it be like to live as a spider, having people shriek and jump and throw a shoe at the very notice of you? I have tasted both, looks of desire and repulsion. How sad it is that we judge a life by such a trivial thing as appearance. #richellegoodrich #spiderlove #baboonspider #weaver #harpactirinae

Baby Baboon Spiders!!!!!! What a lovely and wonderous surprise on our field excursion today. We have been monitoring a female Harpactira dictator on the Soetmuisberg for almost 3 months. She is a beautiful specimen, and constructed her 'nest' under a rock in Fynbos vegetation... ...and this morning when I checked in on her there were about 20 youngsters crawling around her in the nest. My heart leaped with joy and little Cian, our 8 year old Bionerd was star-eyed right next to me. What a privilege to see such a sight and to be able to share a picture of a Harpactira dictator spiderling of barely 8mm in size...

I was asked by a friend to try and identify the Baboon Spiders he caught wild and is keeping on display at the Snake Park here in Victoria Falls. With a little coaxing, this little one came out. Now, I've always specialised in Southern African Theraphosidae of the Sub-family Harpactirinae (Baboon Spiders) and I was pretty sure that I knew what this one was; but regardless, I checked using some documents of mine and discovered I was right. Ceratogyrus dolichocephalus, the Cranial Horned Baboon Spider. These little gems aren't seen in the UK pet trade often, and they are endemic to Zimbabwe (only found here). They're hardy creatures that can go months without feeding and build wonderful J-shaped burrows often as much as 4' deep. #zimbabwe #tarantula #baboonspiders #baboonspider #Ceratogyrus #hornedbaboonspider #Africanbugs #Theraphosid #Theraphosidae #harpactirinae #arachnid #spider #mygalomorph (at Victoria Falls)
