Tarantula in the Philippines

   

    It is very rare to find Tarantula in the Philippines. Some people believe that there was no Tarantula that can be found here in the Philippines. Maybe it is my luck that I found this Tarantula at the back in our house.

    I found this accidentally when I open the stone near in our house. After I open, I notice that there is something crawling in a black color. I thought it was a spider, but our neighbor told me that it was not a ordinary spider they named it as "hapon-hapon" in  Mindanao. And they warn us not to touch it because it is venomous.

    Maybe they are true, because when I took some picture on it, I notice that it produced something liquid on the stomach.

    The size is not as big as the Tarantula in other country, but it is larger than the spider that can be found on the trees.

A unique Butterfly or A Beautiful Moth

Every person may describe the butterfly as a beautiful and colorful creature that give beauty in our surroundings. There are also people believes that the butterfly is the re-incarnation of a man after the death. Do you know that butterfly and moth are alike but they are not the same? According to the New Comprehensive English Filipino Dictionary it described the butterfly as a thin-bodied insect with large often brightly colored wings, club-shaped antennae, and slender body, while Moth is an insect like butterfly that usually  flies at night, any various typically nocturnal, distinguished from butterflies by their smaller stout bodies, and smaller, usually dull colored wings, which fold laterally across the abdomen.

Now, maybe we can distinguish among the two. But it makes me confuse with this creature that I found.

And it is not nocturnal maybe, because I found it at daytime.

But when you look it closely, it is not a butterfly because the characteristics it closely to moth. One, it has smaller stout bodies.
