Title: My new roomate
Post by: xtrafrood on Sun, 10 July 2016, 10:52:51: People of Geekhack, meet Herman. He lived on the ceiling above my Keurig; poor Herman was down on his luck. He couldn't pull his weight so I have to move him outside. :'(

Hello Herman.

Post by: xtrafrood on Sun, 10 July 2016, 11:15:38: I guess it was a female Peucetia Viridans (Green Lynx Spider). I've never seen one in a house, the thing must have hitchhiked on some clothing or something. Time to mow the grass :))

Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 10 July 2016, 12:16:45: Herman is only suited for house living, he's a domesticated spider..

By moving him outside, You've killed Herman..

He is not adapted to ---the wild.. .

The Wiki article I read said that the males average .5in/13mm in length. The one I took a picture of was about 1-1.5in/25-38mm /shrug

Post by: Purp on Sun, 10 July 2016, 22:25:50: What a lovely little guy, spiderbro confirmed? I used to have a lime green roommate as well, he was a tiny grasshopper that appeared one day and spent his afternoons chilling at the corner of my room. Never had a chance to ask his name, now he's probably dead or chillin' in Costa Rica. Maybe both.
