Excellent work. Always makes me wonder if when arthropods look at us, do we look as unbecoming to them?
Haha. I would think so. What do you think the arachnids think of us on only two legs? How do we do it?

I'm sure I do, but my lovely wife..?
Yes, I agree, the female version is much more attractive. At least to me.

After spending years underground, he cleans up pretty good - nice work! 
I agree. I do not think he is dead. No movement for days. Two came to me and the same for both. I did not mount him with pins. just put him on top of my table. No harm done.

Scary looking ! Fine technique !
