These terrific photos and more were taken by Thomass Hahan. Smile please!

Incredibly scary or just cute and hairy?

Bra-vo? Is that a bikini she's wearing there? 

And these sculptures were amazing too.

Can't be easy having such long legs. But she seems happy enough.  

Not all spiders are black.

This one looked a little like a Scorpion.

And this leather sculpture was bigger than Jake and Louis.
Not sure they were meant to be sitting on it.

A web site with a difference?

Plenty to learn - even for Jake, who has more than 100 tarantulas - at his dad's :o).

Then when you've seen the spider
exhibition, you can explore the
rest of the museum.

More than enough skeletons to last past halloween.

If you've got the backbone for it.

Cases of skulls...

...that you are welcome to pick up. If you can carry them.

Some are too heavy.

Like this whale.

Or this giant sloth. I like sloths :o). See he's only got three toes.

You can sit for ages enjoying the view.

And marvelling at the smily beasties.

And when you've seen enough, it's bye bye Lucy and off you trot.
Lucy  is estimated to have lived 3.2 million years ago and her skeleton was discovered in 1974.
