We had a spider scare in the jungle of Jamaica 🇯🇲

We went to Jamaica 🇯🇲
To Ocho Rios to be precise.
There we planned to climb a waterfall and decent it at the other side. We had to wait for our guide, Alexander and we were outside when we saw this spider 🕷️ brother.
It was on the toilet area on the outside and about 15 centimetres wide, including his legs. I don’t know why I think it’s as HE but I do.

I thought wow what if he is venoumus!
Well he is! And I found out through a trick that shows what an insect is!

We had a scare but we also were very intrigued. I didn’t have internet on the mountain but normally I use my app to scan the animal(s) flowers , birds or insects.
Fun with the kids and usefull for me.
I use it when I have a blog and don’t know what the flower , bird, or insect is.
Or insect to see what it is. What do we do when get stung or worse.
With flowers why you need to do to keep them healthy or if they need additional food in the water or soil.
So I did that later when we came to the ship again.

The app is called : PICTURE THIS INSECTS
A bug identifier. And it’s so good to have that and so you can look things up.

My Source App Store :

It’s available in the App Store and that’s the source for this blog.
It’s under subscription and als there is also a paid version.

Here I made screenshots while using the identifier for this spider that gave us a scare.

You can even use the identifier on a picture on your phone like I did. But better is to scan the insect with your phone on the place where you found it. Way better but again without WiFi in the jungle it’s good to know that it’s also possible this way.
Again fun and informative.

Also the classification is showed in the app.

genus class:
Nephila - Nephila Family
Araneidae - Orb web spiders, garden arachnids Classification
Araneae - Spiders Class
Arachnida - Arachnids Phylum
Arthropoda - Arthropods

The fact that it’s venomous was a scare when we got back. We were in the jungle all day and in hinside glad that we or one of our four kids didn’t get bitten.
