It was a Google site (from years ago) so all that's left is a random archive somewhere. I had all the local spiders+favorites, but the only original content were pictures of Latrodectus and Kukulkania Hibernalis. Beautiful spiders.

Smart little cats with 8 legs, and certaily the most lovely spiders, even for aracnophobics
