Just returned from a little trip in the mountains. I will post both photos of the animals and the scenery in this thread.
First stop was in a place called Sayan. When walking out of town I found a rock with 2 juvenile Latrodectus geometricus.
This is the typical habitat there, rocky and very very dry.
Not really much in Sayan other than a few True Spiders, so we left there after about 3 hours.
Next stop was in Churin. This area is a little more lush and the scenery is breathtaking.
The crickets there are HUGE!!!! I know some tarantulas that would love to sink their teeth into one of these LOL
It didsnt take very long until I found a baby scorpion under a rock. Probably a Hadruroides sp
Check this out!!! I finally found a tarantula down here. I have no idea which species it is. Check out the mite on the back leg. And no thats not my cigarette butt in the 2nd pic. The only place I find stuff down here is where there is alot of trash on the ground.
Found this little Jumping spider on a flower.
The scenery is just awesome in Churin. It reminds me of Canta which is also in Peru.
Here is a scorpion I found. Another Hadruroides sp I presume. Looks just like the ones I found in Canta this time last year.
