They have four pairs of segmented legs, and can grow a new leg if they lose one. Most of the spiders have eight eyes and they do not have antennae. Spider’s body is divided into two sections, the abdomen and the cephalothoraxes. The legs, eyes, and mouthparts are all in the cephalothoraxes.Shenandoah bed and breakfasthttp://www.woodruffinns.com/packages.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-9796961583181946702009-09-26T11:12:53.885-07:002009-09-26T11:12:53.885-07:00Thanks Petrea!

Seems like you're doing what the good photographers do and that's how you're getting good photos. Makes sense to me.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-6809983840365864212009-09-25T11:42:24.556-07:002009-09-25T11:42:24.556-07:00I am grateful for comments from such noted arachno...I am grateful for comments from such noted arachnologists.

A single coyote satisfies it for a month, which is why it just hangs around the rest of the time.
