#giant crab spider

@iridiumurchin​ submitted: Brace for impact, because I found a bunch. All are from Yavapai county arizona.

I don't have species IDs on most of these.

This one would absolutely NOT sit still.

I've never seen this one before.

These are pretty widespread but I can never remember the species.

I put a bunch of your submissions into one post rather than post so many separately! These are all super nice friends! The last fella is indeed common in Arizona. It’s a giant crab spider which is a type of huntsman :) You didn’t really ask for IDs on the others so I assume I’m just meant to admire

HUNTSMAN SPIDER (Sparassidae): Olios giganteus, “giant crab spider”

[Bonus exuvia behind cut because I don’t expect anyone else to think it’s cool lol]

So the legspan on the male Olios giganteus that left this exoskeleton I found had to have been at least 2 inches, almost palm-sized. Which means now that its molted, it’s bigger than that. And if there are females around here somewhere, they’re even bigger than that 😮

does a plot summary of the silt verses exist anywhere? I listened to the last 2 seasons but since have gotten somewhat concussed and forgotten. most of the plot

We put out an audio recap last week in the feed, but a quick written summary of Seasons 1&2 would be (under the cut for spoilers)

Season 1:

Carpenter and Faulkner, two acolytes of the illegal river-god known as the Trawler-man in a nation known as the Peninsula, are heading upriver in search of signs of their fragmented and scattered faith.

Along the way, they discover friendship, kidnap a disillusioned office worker from the neighbouring nation of the Linger Straits (Paige), and are pursued by Hayward, a hangdog police officer.

Carpenter decides she needs to quit the faith. Faulkner confesses his ambitions of becoming a great leader of their shared religion and drops some of the frenzied zealotry.

In the end, they uncover the Wither Mark, a powerful prayer to their river-god, which has been used to obliterate an entire town.

Cornered, they call upon the river's wrath and are swept apart in the flood.

Season 2:

Returning to the Parish of Tide and Flesh and relaunching himself as 'prophet of the river', Faulkner quickly becomes a thorn in his superior Katabasian Mason's side and is sent out on a dangerous mission.

Carpenter, waking far to the south, is introduced to the Cairn Maiden, a god of death who appears to have taken a special interest in her. She, too, is given a dangerous mission (PARALLELS) - to carry a moaning, screaming corpse back to the White Gull river.

Hayward, having fled to the Linger Straits, meets up with Paige and joins her crusade to create a new god of martyrs that sacrificial victims can use to protect themselves.

This goes, perhaps, a little too well, and after one terrorist attack against a prison, Paige and Hayward find themselves fleeing back to the Peninsula, leaving behind them one deadbeat, dead dad.

In the capital of Glottage, a politician by the name of Shrue recruits a pair of god-hunters, Mercer and Gage, to track down the Parish's people.

(Along the way across both seasons, it becomes increasingly clear that war is imminent between the Peninsula and Linger Straits. At the end of the season, it breaks out.)

Carpenter and Faulkner end up reuniting to try and defend the Parish's people against the government's forces - an attack which is unexpectedly called off.

As Carpenter buries her corpse and comes to terms with the possibility of a peaceful life and an end to her struggles, Faulkner is heralded as a hero of the faith.

It turns out that Katabasian Mason has negotiated with Shrue to legalise the Parish, using the coming war as leverage.

Furious at having his dreams of leading the Parish as a prophet and a war hero stolen from him, Faulkner murders Mason, and in desperation blames Carpenter for the deed.

Carpenter flees. Faulkner remains a hero. Paige and Hayward wash up on the Peninsula's shores. War is here.
