The boys of 2022 & how I name them

Pictured: Bert sporting his tracker

Spiders lost:

• Frenchfry, likely eaten by a glider or a rat.

• Spud, oh sweet spud, he did so well, but unfortunately the floods got the better of him.

Spiders waiting to be deployed:

• Vac

• Wrex

• Ah-ha

Spiders currently out in the field:

• Slim Shady. Oh boy, this lad was collected visiting one of the large females (Moghedien) whos' burrow is visible from the main path. He's gone on a great walk so far, and has since hunkered down to wait the rain out.

• Burt. A sweet boy, quite happy following his heart and visiting all the girls he can find.

• Mac. Made some poor decisions and decided to camp out for the day in a rather soggy patch of grass/leaf litter.

• Lil Jon. Found waaaaayyy up at the beginning of the trail near kissing point rd, had a BIG walk on his first night, and has since settled inside a burrow with a female. Good luck my dude, I hope she likes your backpack.

• Carlos. Damn Carlos. This boy is going to be trouble. Already having led us into thick, vine-y shrubs, he's selected a female to visit that appears to have set up on the edge of a drop off.

How do I come up with the names you ask?

If I am the one to find the spider, he gets named after the song I am listening too at the time. Lil Jon (Low), Slim Shady (self explanatory), Mac (the chain by fleetwood mac) & Ah-ha (Take on me, by Ah-ha).

If one of my volunteers spots a spider, they get to name him. Hence, Frenchfry, Spud, Bert, Carlos, Vac & Wrex.
