My fiance lives in Lima, Peru so I naturally go down there as often as possible. While there, I like to check out the bugs. My last trip was last November and this is what I found.

Loxosceles sp (probably laeta)

Argiope sp (I snagged 2 egg sacs with the intention of bringing them home to hatch but they hatched in my room before I returned so I had to turn them loose LOLOL:D
