  • description: We found this Huntsman spider with her newly made egg sac six weeks earlier (early October) and have been checking on her progress daily. It was a long gestation period, as this species usually hatch within 2-3 weeks, but the weather has been odd lately. Anyway, we were delighted to find today that they were all safely arrived, ready to be eaten by each other and other predators. Congratulations Hortense the Huntsman Protector of the Post! The coloured cardboard at the bottom of the letterbox is the 'nursery furniture' installed by my friend's kids, in readiness for the tiny arrivals.
