What a huge spider! My spider-loving 13 year-old son wants to know...any idea what kind it is?
That took my breath away! :-)
lisa and son, my classification of spiders before today = 'brown spider', 'black spider', 'big spider', 'hairy spider', etc.
'kay. so, admittedly, i knew nothing about spider identification. after today, i now know something, but still spider identification looks to be something of a scientific art.
because of this, i will not be trying my hand at 'guessing' what kind of spider this is. however, i did find out enough to fill another blog post on the subject, so keep your eyes peeled if you are interested in this kind of thing. ;)
Thanks, Amy. We'll be looking forward to more specimens. :)
tammy, sad to say it hardly phased me at this point. though it was already dead. we've found multiple tarantulas, which before id-ing this one, seem to make it pale in comparison... ;)
I wrote up our last few nature study outings here:

Doing weekly nature study with a group and recording our outings keeps me accountable as I work toward making nature study part of our family rhythm.
And now we're headed this week on a little family vacation to a river house a couple hours away--I am looking forward to sharing lots more when we're back! We're going with binoculars, field guides, and nature journals in tow, for sure. :)
what a great opportunity you have!! we did nature study with friends a few times and it was SO cool. @Martine!
