Ok, ok an arachnid Isn't an arachnid a kind of spider?

That's like saying - Isn't a mammal a kind of cow?

As Nan says, spiders are arachnids. Arachnids are a class of animals which include spiders, scorpions, harvestmen, ticks, mites, and solifuges.

Dunno Lis, I think the Boon is scared of everything that has more than 4 legs and scared of many things that have any other number (including zero) of legs.

Absolutely! You ever had a big roman attacking your feet around the campfire?

Yep, can be disconcerting but not really scary. maybe you should change your icon to a chicken?

You have had all the comments on the gogga BT, so, stunning sunset

It was, we had waited until the last moment to leave the bridge and I was going at the speed limit on the S89. I could see the sunset getting better and better in my mirrors and I had to keep stopping to get pictures which made us even later. Titus wasn't on duty and the guy who was had already locked the gate when we arrived

arachnid... spider... all the same
spider = order of arachnida

only to write these names I'm

You are braver than the Boon, Nan

Up to Olifants for some coffee, the game was scarce and the weather was overcast.

Then, a lifer for us both - we've heard the call of this bird many times but have never found one. Klaas's Cuckoo!


Laughing Dove.


Three Tenors warming up in shockingly bad light.

Lucky to find the cuckoo!!

Your sunset pic is beautiful!! I have to agree with RP and BC about all the bugs!

[Lisbeth]

Pity about the light, because the three bateleurs could be a great photo. I still like it though and also the hippos from above

[Toko]

They were very distant too but good light would have made a difference!
