Yeah, I'm back. My time in the USA just FLEW by. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you guys again, but I'm glad that I showed up for that one BBQ!!!
Anyway, as soon as I got here a few weeks ago, I immediately went to visit my uncle's pig farm out in the tropical country side (Santa Cruz, Bolivia). I did NOT have my camera, so I had to borrow my friend's crappy digital camera. The pics aren't that great, but you'll get the picture! (pun intended)
I played with some HUGE true spiders, and also found a tarantula, which I smuggled onto the plane in a small film box tucked inside my sock, when I flew to Cochabamba, Bolivia (where I live and work, higher altitude, dryer colder climate)! It's in premolt, so I'll post some pictures after it molts!
Here's the T when I first found it....it had wandered into a pig sty, and had been accidentally covered in food scraps, so it's pretty dirty here:
Here are 2 shots of where I kinda was....
THE SPIDER!!!!! looks like a lycosid
And some pigs....

HEllo Nesh,
You don't love us anymore!!!!!!!
We were making the imposible to throw you another party and you did not even say good bye!!!!!! Shame on you.
We will have to send David RS to teach you a lesson
JK Nesh.
I was really nice to see you in person again.
I love these pics man. Do you think that T is an Acanthoscuria sp?
and the other one might not be a Lycosid, too big don't you think?
But then again it looks exactly like one.
cool finds did you collected both spiders?
If you ever find some more and die on you and need to preserve them (dry specimens ) I would be interested on getting some .
thanks
francisco.
PD Can you ask around and see if you can find me some Agathemera crassa o Chinchemolles.

hehe, time just flew by too quickly, as most vacations do. before i knew it i was on the plane heading back.
anyway, this isnt the first T that i found here. I had another really amazing one that i brought back a long time ago, but my little cousin thought it was dead and threw it out (it was probably molting!!!). i was SOOOOO pissed. made him cry for a few days. he didnt mean to do harm though. since then ive taught him more about bugs.
I HAVE MORE PICTURES TO POST UP. ILL DO IT THIS WEEKEND I PROMISE.
LOTS OF PICTURES FROM THE PAST YEAR THAT I NEVER PUT UP BECAUSE OF CRAP INTERNET. BUT I PAID FOR A GOOD CONNECTION NOW. YOU WILL LOVE THESE! JUST STAY TUNED!!!!
