How to catch a Monkey spider. Very easy once the Indian guide had shown me. Even though it could paralyse you for 24 hours and more I caught one. They live in a hole on the floor of the forest. I put a long palm leaf in the hole and wiggled it around to simulate a snakes movements. Once the fangs were buried in the palm I slowly dragged the cuddly creature out, then put your machetes flat ways on its back to trap it. As it struggles to escape you carefully pick it up gripping its body as show and hey presto - you have it.
