Thanks I think

with the macro lens, remember this spider is less than an inch across, it blew me away when I enlarged the photo to see the colors and detail...
thanks,rick |
Grouper, Rincon De Guayabitos: I've been there and all up and down the coast of Nayarit. Beautiful places. Have you been to Lo De Marcos? Theres a
secluded beach there called los venados. It's one of my favorite places to cast off the rocks for jacks. In the area, not sure exactly where, is where
they filmed "Predator"

Wiles is correct.
Lobster is just a spider that lives in sea water.
I've heard lobster tastes like tarantula -just not quite as hairy

Insects are indeed arthropods, as are spiders, lobsters, et al. Arthropod means jointed foot.

WHEW! Now that we have THAT cleared up, what's the name of that darn spider!
(I'm still waiting for word from the county entomologist, as I don't know any araneologists.)

I have spent hours looking for that spider and haven't come up with anything.
you should have put it in a bottle and saved it. Maybe we could name it after you.

I am unable to identify the species of spider you posted as a photo. However, the two sets of extended front legs have probably evolved to form a
basket or cradle to catch other insects - like dragonflies.

All spiders and insects are arthropods, spiders are arachnids, and arachnologists study them, other arachnids are solpugids, ticks, mites, scorpions.
Just to clarify-- it is still a really, cool spider

Ok can I add this one to the mix??
Fuzzy photo, but it was about 1 1/2" across. The thing by his butt is not part of him. I decided not to move it before taking his picture! December
in Baja Sur.
