T is for two! One of these continues the Halloween season, the other I got a while ago, and can't remember where but probably one of the supermarkets? And while it wasn't sold as a Halloween item, it's on message twice, so fits this post perfectly!
Google says
Legogide of Denmark (nothing to do with the Billund thieves), so for now, we'll go with that, but I haven't been to Denmark, so somebody over here is handling them! Various designs of Spider, in various colours, seemingly randomly packed, and all of 'bird eater' or Tarantula size, and . . .

These are in
Asda at the moment, and at a pound a bag, good value for what they are, that's an old school rack-toy price! Contents vary, with six millipedes in a greenish glow-in-the-dark PVC-alike, only three of my 'love to hate' Flower Crab Spiders (
Misumena vatia), in a paler but also a Photoluminescent polymer, and six large flocked polyethylene solids, and they are 'long-haired' flocking, the hippy fucks!
Close up of the three separate elements.
Loo at it, the long-haired git!

I shot these back in August 2025, I think we've seen the white ones you find in Buddleia’s before now, it's actually less hateful in this greenish-yellow, but they do have a sinister aura, more so then the incresingly common False Widows, which I've also shot on several occasions. And, I've said it before - Spider Crabs, Crab Spiders, Spider Monkeys, Monkey Puzles . . . we're really crap at naming things.
