[Nicola Dolby]

Why don't all those suggesting someone go and write an article themselves. That should keep the editor busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Dont have to be really clever to write an article and age shouldnt be an issue. Write an article about how you got into t's, what your first t was, some stories about a particular spider that escaped or had strange behaviour. Sometimes having light hearted articles and stories are good to read from time to time.

[Nicola Dolby]

I agree with Adam. It doesn't matter how old you are or Whether you have a PHD or not. In fact the light hearted articles are just as good (often better) than the serious stuff. What I want someone to write about is the little dance tarantulas do after they kill their prey (or think they have in the case of pre-killed). They all dance but the dances are different. For example I have a H. lividium who just dabs a little web after catching a cricket, yet I used to have a P. metallica who went beserk like a deranged bee! Also do they dance less when less hungry (ie shorter gap between meals), which might indicate its less of a joy at killing thing and more of a pleasure at the thought of eating thing. Could be an interesting study. Also do the species have different dances, like a sign of identification?
Just a few questions

[Chris Sainsbury]

I say it will be me as who has the 1000th article printed because, I will bribe Mr Gallon with the keys to Castle Greyskull and a self emptying washable sick bag!


Then again I'm not so sure if I can be botherd to write anything so I may just keep this bribe for a later date.

All the best
