For weeks, I've been collecting bits of moss and lichen while out on my jaunts. I wanted to try a moss terrarium, similar to the ones that are on Etsy.
Yesterday I haunted the aisles of the Dollar Store and came home with more glass jars than I'll ever need. Today I decided to spread everything out on my kitchen table, so I could start.
I chose a round jar, and was just about finished when a huge black spider climbed out of the moss container next to me. I don't have a photo of the spider (I was too busy leaping up and screaming to snap a shot), but here's a picture of the moss container (taken BEFORE the spider emerged!):
After I calmed down enough (which means I was still terrified but able to think...a little), I trapped the spider in a big coffee can and tossed the can outside. Here's a photo of the can outside. The spider is hiding under the paper towel:
Here's my first moss jar, which I'm torn between calling "Forest in a Jar", or "Moose in a Jar".
