spider

This will be my thread for the progress of my Sarracenias and such. Some of you might remember I posted this pic asking for help if I should repot the S. rubra gulfensis in the back left. I gave it a "hair cut" instead per everyone's recomendations. Spring cleaning time for little bog by...

I went to Lowes last week and saw these two Aloes. They were so cool looking, I just had to pick them up. Aloe nobilis (Gold Tooth Aloe) Aloe x spinosissima (Spider Aloe). This one looks wicked and dangerous!

Hey all. My name is Cameron, you can call me Cam if you want. Or King XD I spend a lot of time looking after my animals. I keep reptiles, amphibians, and other vertebrates and invertebrates. I prefer to grow live plants in my tanks. I was looking for something good to plant in my very...

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on with my N. spectabilis x aristolochioides. The most recent leaf is distorted, as is the tendril (it's curled backwards). I thought it was a fluke, but now the newest leaf that is unfolding is showing the same problem. I've also...

Hello, I've had the following neps for some time now and they've done pretty much nothing ever since they arrived, so I'm looking to trade them. All of them are healthy and some are showing signs of new growth and pitcher production. Nepenthes boschiania x (spectabilis x veitchii) about 3"...

This is the healthy and awesome Nepenthes ventricosa on the day that I received it from flytrapshop.com on May 30th, 2009. By December 2009, it was unable to adapt well enough to my rugged, cold and dim Alaskan window sill. The mites sink in.. I thought it might be the end. But it did...

So, I was cleaning in our garage yesterday, and long story short, I now have a pet black widow spider. She's beautiful, and we named her Bellatrix. Can anyone give me a few tips on how to take care of her? Thanks in advance!

Here's my big planted tank; Crowded, huh ? That's not the best part though. Here is the crazy part, the species inside: Adults A. Joergenscheeli D. Fulgens D. Cyanostictum D. Georgiae Fp. Gardneri 'Mamfensis' Juvies/Fry (the ones I've seen yet) D. Cyanostictum D. Georgiae A. Elberti A...

I don't know much about spiders but my fiance showed this to me this morning, I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share. Video and more info here: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21124-zoologger-the-biggest-spider-web-in-the-world.html

I was going to put this in the random picture/video thread, but I think it deserves its own. THIS. This is why I don't squash spiders. Such beautiful, complex little lives they live. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9GgAbyYDFeg" frameborder="0"...

I came across this very interesting letter while researching Drosera that quite frankly makes me smile. It's a publication from 1873 which compares the attractive dew of the Sundew to the temptations of sin. Whether you be a religious man, or irreligious, it's still worth a read...

Hello! I live in Los Angeles, CA, which means I always have great beach weather. I'm lucky enough to be in the tiny part of LA that's in the 11a zone, which means that I can grow pretty much whatever I want outdoors and still manage to give my plants dormancy. My favorite plants in my...

It only took me forever, but I'm finally posting my new plants from the NWCPS meet and greet. I had a great time there, thanks again SirKristoff for making it happen! And thanks Brie, SirKristoff and Scott for these lovely plants! S. Flava caught a big spider somehow (excuse my hand, it was...

After moving my VFT from my windowsill to a greenhouse I noticed it had stopped growing, I thought it was just adjusting but then it started growing again but the developing traps are completely screwed.. Whilst taking some pictures I saw little spider mites all over it, can anyone tell me how...

I just got my Nepenthes sanguinea I won on ebay. It was pretty small and came from Florida. I live in Washington state. I noticed one of the leaves curled together with a little fluffy white stuff sticking out the end. I thought it would be a mealy bug. So I pealed open the leaf and about...

:spidersmile:My front porch has four upright posts along the front spaced roughly six feet apart. We came home from dinner last night at about 7:00PM. At about 10:00PM I went to go outside and found this stretching across the space between the two posts that are on either side of my front...

It seems as if somehow this spider has dealt with fly traps before... In the end it it made camp in my Ventrata... Spider 1, CP 0

Well, somehow in the last couple of weeks, an old nemesis that i rid myself of a couple of years ago has resurfaced.. Spider mites, and in my beloved tank here at my house (thankfully not the major chunk of plants back at my parents) but either way, there are some rather rare and irreplaceable...
