Tarantula nest



This tarantula nest is located in the immediate area where the Chamecrista negrensis fell. The spider must have thought that there was an earthquake.

Chamecrista negrensis




About a month ago this Chamecrista negrensis fell ... and miraculously fell in the right direction. Had it fallen a couple of degrees to the left, it would have destroyed the porch area of the reception center. The tree fell at the right time too, when nobody was under it.
