Field Notes

Notes:

Dies war die erste Begegnung mit Meta menardi, im Keller eines verlassenen Hauses im Wispertal. Heute kommt man nicht mehr ins Gebäude hinein. Ich war an dem Tag nicht dabei, und damals war meine Begeisterung für Spinnen noch nicht ganz entwickelt, mich gruselte es beim Anblick des Fotos gewaltig. Verstärkt wurde das Gefühl noch durch die Schilderung, dass "sich was in den Kokons bewegte, wenn man sie anleuchtete." Wuah.
Rückblickend wäre ich doch gern dabei gewesen. /////////// This has been the first encounter with Meta menardi, in the cellar of an abandoned house in the "Wispertal". Today this house is closed. I haven't been there that day, and in those days my love for spiders wasn't as big as today, I felt much horror while watching this photo. This feeling got even more intense as R. told me that "something moved inside those cocoons" when hit by the light. Wuah. In retrospect I would've loved to be there and to see it with my own eyes.
