It's late. I've been playing with the camera and watching snails lay eggs, and now it's too late to process the photos tonight.
Have a fat spider, instead.

| He's been sitting under the same sausage vine leaf for days, hardly moving, even when I turn his leaf over. Waiting for a mate to move into the vicinity? |
 |
| Very obviously a male. Look at the size of those boxing glove pedipalps! |
 |
| Detail of one of the pedipalps. He uses these to transfer sperm to the female. When he finds one. If he ever overcomes his shyness. |
Coming up: those snails and eggs, a couple of tubeworms, and hermit silliness.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
