As I had the first closer contact with tarantulas, a few years ago, I was fascinated by them and their kind of movements and behavior...
After reading some literature and hours of talking to keepers, I became interested in labidognath spiders and other arthropods too.
Finally, I am overwhelmed by the huge diversity and the countless tricks and strategies in the struggle for survival, of this phylum.
IMO nobody should call them "ugly", "bizarre" perhaps, but not "ugly"
What do you guys think?

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens



Holothele incei



Linothele megatheloides (Dipluridae), with huge spinnerets for making strong webs...



Latrodectus hasselti



And the last for today,
the sting of a Parabuthus transvalicus



I hope you enjoy my shots and share some of your pictures of these often underrated animals

Cool pics mate! I like the first the most.

I've kept some a couple of years but I want more movement in my cages but some are just stunning for sure.
Also the reason I like Elapids the most of the venomous snakes.

Cheers, Ro.

nice pics man..
