Just two phone pics today.

@gabethegemini07 Nope. Absolutely harmless

[Bry @BryStrange_]

Since we talking about spiders today, here’s some random pics of spiders you’ve never seen. (All in Trinidad)

[Bry @BryStrange_]

@gabethegemini07 @nwalker_34 It’s an ant mimicking jumping spider (Synemosyna). So yeah it mimics ants 😂 but you can count the legs to make sure (8 legs)

[Bry @BryStrange_]

@nwalker_34 Nice! Which area? I need to find this species and take some pics.

[Bry @BryStrange_]

@GAINBioblitz @inaturalist Mainly locals, but tourists do contribute a lot to the records.

[Bry @BryStrange_]

Trinidad & Tobago has surpassed 100,000 verifiable observations on @inaturalist 🤯 that's a great accomplishment for a small, twin island republic. Take a look at the second image which shows the most common species observed and posted to iNaturalist.

@amy_e_deacon @inaturalist @MarkFHulme Yes 🙌🏽 and I’m going for that number 1 spot soon 🥇😂

Matura beach clean up today with @NatureSeekers @ageofunion

The Green Anaconda is the heaviest snake on Earth. An adult can weigh up to 550 lbs and grow to over 20 ft in length. This 9 ft, 27 lb individual, found in Manzanilla,
Trinidad, is just a fraction of what is to come.

Beautiful creature 🤩 can’t wait to finally see one in the wild myself

[Nicholas Walker @nwalker_34]

Today was a great day!!

[Bry @BryStrange_]

@nwalker_34 As far as I know, there’s no common name given for it as yet. But I just googled and I saw few sources are calling it ‘Tropical Orbweaver’ so I guess that name maybe used for both species 😂

[Bry @BryStrange_]

Eriophora fuliginea. One of the most beautiful spiders in Trinidad😍 However ‘Tropical Orbweaver’ refers to Eriophora ravilla, a related species.

[Nicholas Walker @nwalker_34]

Tropical Orb Weaver.

(Since everybody posting spiders tonight).
