In the afternoon I finally finished Eve of
Snows,
Sundering of the Gods book 1, by L. James Rice. It took me quite some
time to finish this book, I don't know why; it's not that bad. I
consider it an ok read. I am not sure if I am going to read the
sequel, though.
Yesterday, when we visited my brother Marco and his wife Ingrid to
celebrate her 50th birthday Adam got a nice present; a
fishing rod my brother's son no longer used. Because the weather was
not that great we decided to try it out the next day; today.
We used mealworms, Tenebrio molitor, as bait. We had only once a
fish nibbling on the bait, but no luck catching a fish. Adam got bored
after a while, even before me. My father loved to fish, so we talked
quite a bit about him. Since he passed away 18 years ago, sadly he
couldn't be there. He would've loved this.
In the early afternoon I noticed a cast-off exoskeleton next to the
burrow of the Ephebopus cyanognathus I keep; the little tarantula
had molted. In the evening I took some photos of the molt.
In the above photo each square is 5mm by 5mm. I rehoused this small
tarantula to a
semi-arboreal set up the 3rd of May. It has been eaten at
least twice since then and seems to be doing great.
