Thank you, it's indeed an experience for life, hoping to do this for longer. I also come across species I've never seen before and it is thrilling to try to find out what species it is. My main interest is surely insects of all sort, but have a bit of knowledge about other species as well.
Hi Gaia80, thank you for looking for so much time. I couldn't find any like it either. It seems like every night I find a spider I haven't seen before, and several that I revisit to see how they're doing. Lucky you to travel around for a year! Take good care of yourself!
It's a beautiful species for sure, but I have no idea what species it is, can't find anything about it as far as I look, I usually search for a couple hours before I give up ;)
