Way Bigger than Japan

So, spiders in Bali are way bigger than they are in Japan. A few months ago I posted about the spider I saw under a bed at Camp Horado. I remember being a little put off by the size of the guy, but nothing could have prepared me for the spiders in Bali. With that lovely warm tropical climate they flourished!

Huge Spider

See what I mean? One of the local guides found this one and took him around to show us and tell us about him. This one was, in fact, a little bit poisonous, but the guide assured us that it wasn’t fatal. He did offer to let us hold him, needless to say, everyone declined his offer.

    That’s a good point. It is helping me to appreciate the winter that we are in the middle of right now. Cold winter = smaller spiders. Maybe it would be better if it was a little colder then . . .
