The Creature Awaits #94:

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry.  Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

Welcome back to Green Month!

The Lichen Huntsman Spider

Scientific Name: Heteropoda boiei

Region: Malaysia and the islands of Borneo, Java and Sumatra in Indonesia

Size: About a 5" (12.7cm) leg span

Interesting Note:  It was once thought that huntsman spiders (family Sparassidae) actively chased people, but it turns out that they are actually of a completely non-aggressive and timid demeanor - preferring running away over biting, and if they do bite, they only have a very mild venom (though the bite itself can hurt a bit at first due to their size.)  The misconception seems to have stemmed from their apparent inability to discern the shape of a human from far away.  Though the feeling of being chased by one of these relatively large arachnids may be intimidating, it's best to just let these gentle giants scurry past and find their next little cozy spot to nestle into. : )

Another adult female Heteropoda boiei, almost definitely wild caught, not too sure on whether she was mated in the wild or not. Previous owner said she has laid before but it was infertile, hoping to track her down a quick mate.

Heteropoda boiei from Borneo to celebrate! :-) I am very happy to announce that I will be speaking at the very first digital edition of Nature Talks Photo Festival. Together with a selection of top #naturephotographers we will make this year unforgettable. Nature Talks is an allround #naturephoto event covering all assets of our art; including a wide range of genres such as #macro, #landscape and #wildlife photography. There will be talks that are inspirational, educational and more socially critical (#conservation). We’ll have a packed programme of events! Me and other speakers will tell our best stories, share our prize images and every now and then share crucial secrets on how the previous came to be. I could not be more proud to be part of the movement that #LetsNatureTalk. @NatureTalks #LetNatureTalk #NatureTalks #NatureTalks2020 #NatureTalksGoesDigital #NaturePhotography #Photography  Line up: @aaron_gekoski @emanuele_biggi @harmenpiekema @andyparkinsonphoto @hermanvanderhart @weanimals @johanlolos @marcelvankammenfotografie @marcogaiotti_naturephotography @marselvanoosten @martijn.nugteren @mattmaranphoto @michel_lucas_landscapes @tinmanlee @pie_aerts @stefangerrits_photography @mathijsfrenken.nl @judithborremans @alexmustard1 @federico_veronesi @christmannphoto @manonbruijn_photography @gphotoblog @ronaldliv https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_YQbuArQ6/?igshid=10iobsmd823ic
