Grow scales and it will increase your climbing ability by ten grades. It won't help with the ladies though.

What is that "99" on the wing at the end freeze frame? A tag?

Sweet photos RPC. What's equally as cool is the fact you were out and up with them.

Thanks. I can't view my Flickr's EXIF data on my phone but I think I was using my Canon 70-200L IS II wide open from about 8 feet away. He was really staring me down as I got closer. Generally they try to flee but will become very aggressive and bite if provoked. I could've gotten closer but I was afraid he'd quit posing for me. :)

Not a spider, btw; common name is harvestman. That's an Opilione which is also an Arachnid, but Araneae are the order of spiders.

"Another snake" is more than likely a bull snake.

Here's a good spidey for ya:

Phoneutria doing the armadeira. Such a happy friendly spider...

Coatimundi climbing next to us in Munchkinland

Cool pic of the bighorn ram EFR. I've been in hopes I could catch a glimpse of one of those mythical creatures in the Catalinas. Soon...

The snakes and tortoise are so cool. Makes me want a better camera. Here's a few from different trips.

Sea Turtle

Closer. He just cruised by and vanished into the deep.

Baby Howler Monkey

These are the ones that can run across water.

Fossana - your photo makes me real thankful that all of our Madagascar bushwhacks were of the dry variety (holy!!!).

Radek, I was told that it was "worse" a few weeks prior. After leech encounters in Sumatra and Madagascar, I think I will stick to the dryland excursions.
