EWWWW i still HATE spiders!!!!

[anji1971]

They're not my favourite, either, but the butt-shaking one is pretty funny!
And the water-strider is neat, too. We're just starting to warm up here -- should be able to find some little bugs to photograph soon, too!

Really nice photos.

The first spider is another Dictyna (remember that one, Stefan?). The second is Pisaura mirabilis.
The final bug is (in English) a Pond Skater.

I've got to agree with you on that one... maybe i should email those to my mom... she would scream bloody murder!!!LOL

[reptileparadise]

Nope. Had to look it up.

Tremble in fear at my hour of after school accomplishments, mortals!
I traversed the grounds of the local forest for snakes, found a few possible den sites, but to no snaky avail. I did, however, see the first frog and turtle of the season and put it in the area's wildlife center's record book.
Also, I got a picture of a fish species that has not been seen in the lake in it's existence: a dogfish. So, enjoy! (First link's pics, the one after this post will be a video.)
