The Other Spider in the Tub


When I found the brown recluse in the tub the other day, also in the tub were this spider, at the opposite end of the tub, and a daddy long legs, hanging out at the recluse end. We wonder what would have happened had all three been left in there to battle it out (or just ignore each other, which is a possibility, I suppose). I have learned that there are some spiders which eat brown recluses; European house spiders are one kind which do. I have asked for a spider book for my birthday.


A new hobby is trying to get photos of various types of spiders' eyes. Unfortunately, my macro lens isn't powerful enough to get much more detail than this. And maybe, just maybe, sometimes it's not the lens at fault, but the user.
