Arachnids and some other inverts....photo heavy

A few Invert pictures…..some animals belong to my OH (but that’s a domestic battle).

Tarantula’s first



















Tailless scorpion

A few insects that are now well past their lifespan, but lovely creatures (RIP)


Pachnoda marginata (one of the Pachnoda grubs used for feeding)



Enjoy.

WOW absolutely stunning mate, im not a big invert fan, look gorgeous but not in my house lol

Absolutey Stunning is right Thats a very nice collection

Fantastic photo's Ian, and an absolute stunning collection of inverts, i especially like the green bottle blue, the colours on her are amazing and you have captured them so well in the photo. i have recently acquired one myself but he is still a juvenile so hasn't started to display those beautiful adult colours as yet.

one thing i'm not so sure about is the tailless whip scorpion, it's an odd looking creature to say the least, perhaps it will grow on me, who knows.

Cheers guys.
I'll pass the comments onto Justine...as she has claimed some of the above as hers.
The GBB is a difficult to photograph as it is a bit mad and fast.
The pokies are also fast....but the close up of the fangs were done behind glass. :)

As for the tailess scorpion....mad demonic looking creatures and totally harmless.

To second what's already been said, WOW. Superb images. Is the last image a giant thorny?

The tailless is totally class! I saw my first one in Hamm a few years back and for some reason thought it would have been much smaller, but very cool looking. Super excited seeing the beetle too lol (silly with such beautiful spids there) but I do have a soft spot for them.

Great shots Ian and super collection of inverts....

I know what you mean about the GBB Ian mine is like lightning, and from what I've heard pokies are super fast, in fact they practically teleport as opposed to run

Ian, super pics as always and WOW look at those inverts! Especially liking the Mexican flame-knee and Jungle Nymph. What inverts do you keep these days?
