Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.

    Hello from Malaysia! Yes, still home. Just got back from Indonesia yesterday.
    But I had a wonderful time in Japan last month.
    Oh yes, and in New Zealand too.
    Tomorrow I am going to Borneo, then off to Thailand next week.
    And finally to Singapore before flying back to England in March.
    So see you then!

    PS: Oh yes, we do have tarantulas in Malaysia too. One of them is endemic, known as Malaysia earth tiger! Would you like to keep one as souvenir? ;)

      I am glad you are having a fabulous time. I look forward to seeing your photos.

      I am not in favour of having a tarantula as a house guest even though I appreciate they are amazing creatures ;-)

      He was moving his pedipalps, it was amazing to see. Tarantulas usually hide at the back of there cave home.

      Spiders give me the creeps too.
