The same day I found the Huntress I found her male counterpart, in much the same way, by searching the places I would hide during the day if … I were a night hunter. Found within 40 metres of each other.
I took the loosened bark down from the side of the tree and turned it gently but quickly as it came away so whatever might be on the other side became visible and exposed, perhaps triggering a freeze response and not flight or fright. There, sitting stock still, was a huge male Huntsman.
As soon as I took my eye off him he was away, she was trapped in a pocket with nowhere to run but at me and she wasn't game for that.
Him ...
