Biodiversity

Post by rsfoto »

Hi,

My two pets in the opposite scale of biodiversity. One harmless and the other one poisonous up to a certain degree ...

Argiope trifasciata a harmless garden spider measuring about 40 to 50 mm in length.

and on the other side a Black Widow with its distinctive Hourglass found on the stairs up to my Observatory. She comes out only at night and does not like light.

Nice Hourglass with a golden border ... Counts the minutes which are left when she bites you :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Resembles the Holy Grail :mrgreen:

Hi,

I have to admit that the Black Widow somehow did not make me feel comfortable and so she joined her husband in Valhalla ...
