wow Carolina superb !!!
Excellent pictures, and a really striking creature.
No sting?? Does it not have poison??
Excelente foto, escalofriante aracnido.
Me hace sentir escalofrios, pero es precioso !! muy buena foto. En Mexico les llamamos vinagrillos y las personas les temen mucho, aunque por lo que se no son venenosos.
Thank you koixtreme, I'm gonna take a look!
