Ever wonder what public transport in space will be like? Train pict credit: Me Tarantua Nebula from the Astronomy Picture of the Day website Tarantula Image Credit: WFI, MPG/ESO 2.2-m Telescope, La Silla, ESO The largest, most violent star forming region known in the whole Local Group of galaxies lies in our neighboring galaxy the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Were the Tarantula Nebula at the distance of the Orion Nebula - a local star forming region - it would take up fully half the sky. Also called 30 Doradus, the red and pink gas indicates a massive emission nebula, although supernova remnants and dark nebula also exist there. The bright knot of stars left of center is called R136 and contains many of the most massive, hottest, and brightest stars known. The above image taken with the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s) Wide Field Imager is one of the most detailed ever of this vast star forming region.

In the Tarantula Nebula,there is a planet just outside the orbit of the gas giant “Talon”.The planet is known by surfers across the Galaxy as “Evers Pipe”. Discovered by surfer/photographer Scott Evers,he surfed it himself for many years before opening it up to the surfing community.When Talon rises the tides are huge, waves have being measured up tp and exceeding 220’,a long pipe run can last for up to 5 hours and 25 miles,.........so pack a lunch. / And when surfers need a break they get out those touring kayaks,it can be very deadly but…................oh the rush!!

It’s a rather abstract composition made of Mexican Red Knee Tarantula and a macaque’s skull. Now, the tarantula needs no introduction, it’s an arachnophiles’ classic. The skull on the other hand is pretty interesting – it comes from Borneo, the Kalimantan province, and it is difficult to tell how old it is. The carvings are not really typical for the Dayak people, and they bear a mark of unique craftsmanship. I guess it would make a rather spectacular large print – up to 55×82 cm at 150 DPI. The image is a composite of two (I have only one spider…), taken with Canon EOS 5D, Canon 100mm/2.8 Macro USM.

The most popular species of Tarantula kept as pets, and one can see why: inquisitive, personable, powerful yet delicate. An excellent ambassador species to help us all rid ourselves of the fear of all things multi-limbed and exoskeletal. This piece was done as a pet portrait.

Tarantulas are solitary animals and can live up to 30 years. They are nocturnal hunters and are generally non-aggressive. Moreover, they can live in burrows that are 2 feet deep. This species (Aphonopelma) has the longest life span of any other spider. Furthermore, most tarantulas are killed by predatory wasps called Tarantula hawks. The Tarantula hawks sting their prey and use the dead tarantula body to lay their eggs in. In addition, the offspring of the Tarantula hawks rely on the leftover body parts to supply them with food. Unlike other spiders, tarantulas use their silk to line their burrows instead of catching their prey. They have a pair of silk producing spinnerets located on the abdomen. Moreover, the female tarantula uses her silk to protect her delicate baby eggs. In addition, tarantulas shed their skins (molt) to adapt to their growing bodies. Tarantulas are HARMLESS to humans and most pets (e.g., dogs and cats). Their venom is of no medical significance, and contrary to popular belief, nobody has ever died from such a bite; most people compare the bite to that of a bee sting and experience no lasting ill-effects other than mild to moderate pain and slight swelling at the site of the bite. Most species are nocturnal, and if one shows up in or around your house, it is just because he is trying to hide out during the day to return to his search at night (or maybe you have female tarantulas living around your house). In South Texas, some males hide out in the low mesquite trees during the daytime hours. If you do not feel comfortable having tarantulas around, please gently chase the spider into a jar with a leaf or other long object with a soft end, and deposit it as far away as you feel comfortable. Remember, these animals are completely beneficial to humans, feeding on cockroaches, crickets, scorpions, and likely mice and other rodents.

My husband spotted this friendly fellow on a driveway when we were out walking. I tried to get a macro shot of him but didn’t have the courage to get close enough, so my husband took the picture! He was about the size of my hand! These spiders are apparently quite common in California, but this was a new experience for me!!!
