In the late afternoon I checked on Jaiden's Brazilian whiteknee tarantula (Acanthoscurria geniculata). It had turned itself upside down yesterday, ready to molt. And indeed it had molted!
In the above photo you can see the spider in the bottom half and its exuviae (cast-off exoskeleton) in the top half. All in all it looked like a successful molt.
In the early evening I finished Madouc by Jack Vance, the final book in the Lyonesse trilogy. I liked the book, it was a good reread.
"The Tree ruled the horizons, shouldered aside the clouds, and wore thunder and lightning like a wreath of tinsels- it had come to be worshipped by the first marveling settlers on Kyril". Joe Smith arrives from Earth and soon is caught up in a political plot between opposing worlds. Ultimately he discovers the true, horrific nature of The Tree of Life...
In the evening I started in Son of the Tree by Jack Vance. My copy of the ebook came with a cover art by Howard Kistler.
