   Ian Cooper writes:  I spotted the burrow entrance of what must be a very large Antrodiaetus pacificus<\/em> Trapdoor Spider while scanning along the embankment with my bike light. It’s possible the resident spider retreated as I and my annoying light approached the site before I spotted the burrow. I was taken aback at how big the opening was. Although the spider wasn’t at its doorway or visible when I peered into its burrow, it must be relatively huge compared to the other resident trapdoor spiders in the vicinity I’m familiar with. The silk-lined burrow was clearly a well maintained ‘active’ residence which I was able to shine my light into. Very much looking forward to my next visit to the area in hopes of catching sight of this monster!  [So are we! – Jeremy T]<\/p>\n

   Ian photographed a noctuid caterpillar feeding on grass at night.  It’s not the usual Noctua pronuba<\/em>.  I wish I knew what it is, writes Jeremy Tatum!<\/p>\n
