A very small brown spiderling is in a sauce cup for a picture. Due to her age, she is quite light in color and her face proportions look a little goofy. She has a black mark around her eyes like a cartoon bandit mask, which is what drew me to her. She is too small for the camera to focus on her very well.
The same spider, now fully grown. She is in the same size sauce container as the first picture for size comparison. Her lighter browns are a beautiful rosy tan sort of color.
The same spider, now a darker with age. The subtler patterns on her cephalothorax aren't quite as sharp as they used to be, blurring together somewhat.
turnip passed away last night. i found her on the floor at work early last may and raised her to adulthood. it was an experience i'm really grateful for, and i learned a lot from her π #spider #wolfspider #trochosaruricola #petloss
