Banana with legs :P

Hairy banana with 8 legs!


Not sure of the ID. Cyphalonotus sp. or Poltys sp.?


I thought it was some dead flower stalk when i saw it. Luckily it moved (weaving web)

Oh man, I hate that exists except for one reason - which is too look at pictures that you take of it.


Stellar as always, thank you for sharing your work. It's awesome.
