Green Spider

This green spider is called "the" spider in the title because I believe it to be the same I photographed a year earlier close to the office it loomed in now. Check the previous photo, where the spider is still a youngster, and follow the link there for identification. The chair structure it is sitting on in the first three photos is three centimetres high. Hence, the spider is - legs stretched - about 3.5 centimetres across.

This photo was taken without a flash and is, therefore, a bit off focus. It shows, however, the colour better than the other photos.

Another flash photo, like the one above.
Green Spider
Dr. Kaj Wiik was kind enough to rescue the spider out of the building into the wild (whether it wanted to be rescued or not). Here the transportation is on the way.
