Spider eyes in the dark


We discovered, walking at night with our LED head lights that there were lots of little sparkles along the ground. On closer inspection we were picking up spiders eyes. Apparently spiders have 8 eyes!  We can verify that they don't all sparkle in the flashlight!

Hi Anne & Tony.

Found you site .... great !
Will follow.

Be careful outdoors at night in FNQ as area has "Hawny Toads" which if bitten by one can cause long term swelling for 9 months.

Suggest you keep up anti-virus injections for Anne.
