This one was not that big....only about 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide at the body. This was actually a smaller one compared to most I've seen before...and have shots of. I got a quick shot of it near a large frog that I was hoping I was going to get shots of eating the tarantula, but the frog thought otherwise and kept on hopping along. Robert | Gear |
