It make it looks like this thread is a chatting zone between u both

Issac, i love ur OBT sexy back, mine still doesnt show any orange color yet

To get to the other side. 


To look for a female's burrow!
In September and October the male tarantulas leave their burrows and seek a mate (who may or may not eat them).
This one was near our home the other day.  It was a bit stressed with C on one side and the neighbor's dog on the other side. 
I stood perfectly still, with camera in hand, and it walked slowly right between my legs and on to the grass on the other side. 

Got 2 Pterinochilus Lugardi frm andrew...thx alot
Pic will be upload once can snap a pic of them if they come out frm their burrow

Wikipedia


The red-legged golden orb-web spider (Nephila inaurata) is a species of golden orb-web spider. It lives in Southern Africa and several islands in the Indian Ocean (the Seychelles, Réunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues). Like other spiders in the family Nephilidae it can weave webs so strong that sometimes even birds and bats get caught.[verification needed] Its webs can be found in damp places like in big trees and unpolluted areas to which no cars have access, normally several are strung together to form enormous "homes" so as to cover as much surface area as possible.


This species feeds on flies, mosquitoes, moths, wasps and unfortunate beetles who happen to get tangled up.
In addition to the nominate (Nephila i. inaurata), a second subspecies is currently recognized: Nephila inaurata madagascariensis (Vinson, 1863), which occurs from South Africa to the Seychelles.

An example of a tapestry woven entirely from the madagascariensis subspecies' silk can be seen below



Spider Wranglers Weave One-Of-A-Kind Tapestry Sept 17 09

Full story clickME

Weavers in Madagascar took four years to make it, and the museum says there's no other like it in the world.
It's now in a glass case at the museum. The color is a radiant gold — the natural color of the golden orb-weaving spider, from the Nephila genus, one that's found in several parts of the world.

Simon Peers, a textile maker who lives in Madagascar, conceived the project. Weaving spider silk is not traditional there; a French missionary dreamed it up over a century ago but failed at it. The only known spider silk tapestry was shown in Paris in 1900 but then disappeared.

Peers researched previous attempts, then teamed up with fashion expert Nicholas Godley to hire local weavers to try the near-impossible.

"They did think we were insane," Godley says. "It was actually hard to find people who were willing to collect and work with spiders. I think most people are arachnophobes. I mean, I am, and they bite."

The task of silking a spider starts with a small machine — designed centuries ago when the first attempts to silk spiders were begun — that holds the spider down.

"The spiders are harnessed ... held down in a delicate way," Godley says, "so you need people to do this who are very tactile so the spiders are not harmed. So there's a chain of about 80 people who go out every morning at four o'clock, collect spiders, we get them in by 10 o'clock. They're in boxes, they're numbered, and then as they get silked, about 20 minutes later, they get released back into nature."

A Difficult Task

Peers picks up the thread of the story.

"It's called dragline silk," he says. "A spider can produce up to seven different types of silk. The dragline is what frames the web; it's the thicker silk on the outside. Also, it's extremely strong. The first panel that we wove, we were quite stunned by the fact that it sounded a bit like guitar strings, pinging like metallic guitar strings. I mean, it is a very, very unusual material."

A very careful person simply pulls the thread out of each spider and wraps it on a spindle. It's then put on a hand loom and woven.

The main threads consist of 96 twisted silk lines. The brocaded patterns in the tapestry — stylized birds and flowers — are woven with threads made up of 960 spider silk lines.

Peers says they never broke a single strand, yet the tapestry is as soft as cashmere.

Peers and Godley say they spent a half-million dollars of their own money to make the tapestry, which is on display at the museum for several months.

Btw thanks isaac for ur help

bro, what's an OBT?
