runaway spider

I finally found my spider again.
Caught perching on a wall at the other end of the house.
It escaped a week ago. N i thought it would have already snuck out the house.
I bet it was hungry.
But while I was building its new ideal confinement,
It scurried away from me again.
the third time it got away.
It should be somewhere in the living now.

The temporary fortress to conceal spider. Made quickly using an envelope.


Spider gone. Incomplete spider jail paradise.



Spider before escape, perching on one of my fossils. I thought it might like some textile touches.


Its a huntsman spider.
My friends gave it to me on the aftermath of their violent encounter.
She was in the shower when spider bestrode her and buried its fangs in her.
Huntsman spiders are infamous for their painful bites.
However, their venom is not very threatening to humans.
The spider was caught and they together adjourned to a hospital.
After finding out that she wasn't gonna die.
She gave it to me :)

It would have been such a waste if
her discomfort was expressed on the guilty spider
and in result, its merciless execution.


Excited I was, my first pet spider. a worthy size. It was HUGE(see thumb comparison?).
Spiders back home-home were microscopic.


I thought it'd be a great opportunity to analyze spider behavior. Although not as obvious as some other spiders, based on assumptions and research I'd say this one is female. See the picture? Non bulb pedipalps(no testicles). u see the small dot above the triangular pattern thingy? vagina.



It was given to me in a posh plastic container.
Instead of a matching lid,
they used taped a piece of paper poked with holes.
The huntsman now unable to hunt,
I had to serve the captive spider.
It was left in its dwelling for a week
until I though I make a more soundly one.


Like all spiders, they have an appetite for invertebrates. Went fishing for some in the backyard. Found this really pretty one(Green Fiddler Beetle). The picture is whats left of its splendor. The spider was a butcher.




I guess the spider had sensed that I was to
cast it to its doomed concealment for a lifetime.
That's why in its resistance, it fled from me.
I usually oppose to confine animals for personal delight.
Because nothing deserves such a faith.
But i was so happy. Big cool Spider! dangerousssss!
Ah, but somewhere in me too
there was a sense of regret that in honor my little spider
I had ought to rightfully let it go
than to have it leave in the frights of me.
