Ceratogyrus darlingi (Rear Horned Baboon)

This is a large fawny-brown spider first described by Pocock in 1897. It has a very distinct 'hump or 'horn' that is rear-facing which has black lines radiating from the horn across the carapace.

Maybe you can see the horn better in this pic.

That's a lot of tarantula babies, and the second part is cute.

I made this larger so we could read it.  But then it got shrunk down again when I posted.

You may have noticed the size problem in many of my posts. Most often(almost always), increasing the size is not possible.

Female Darwin's Bark Spider

 

Despite being no larger than 4cm, the female Darwin's Bark Spider can create a web bridge spanning up to 75 feet across rivers by releasing several strands of silk which the wind carries to the other side. She then reinforces it, allowing her to hunt for insects flying over the river.
