Huntmans Spider
This is a spider! A humtman's spider, and yes they can bite, the venom may not make you sick but will hurt and if you are asthmatic or allergic to anything, you may have a reaction. So I do not touch any spiders with my fingers, you can look at a spider all day, just don't touch them. |

Hawk Moths (Sphingidae)
This photograph is on page 2 of my new brouchure with the question, "can you name this bug?" it is of course a hawk moth which are quite common in Sydney but did you know they range from as far as India. This species don't have a common name, its scientific name is Psilogramma memephron which is a bit of a month full, any way you will probably know the hawk month caterpillars especilly the large one found on impatiens. (see photo 7). | 
Caterpillar Hawk Moth
This is the caterpillar of a Hawk moth found on impatients, if touched it feels like velvet and if you pick it up with your hand it may poo or even vomit on you! It won't hurt, but you will have to wash your hands. They are a beautful caterpillar, they may eat some of your plants but they will grow back. | 
Hairy Caterpillar
The hairs of some caterpillars can sting and can be as painful as a bee sting, some hairs may irritate or just cause itching. |

Stick Insect Enclousure
These laminated enclousures are especially designed for stick insects, as they provide secure housing, are easy to clean and provide to right height for the moulting of the larger stick insects the goliaths, the giant green stick insect.
The enclousures are also great for observations and are very easy to look after. | |
