Reflected from his light were the sparkling eyes of a small creature. Casting the light back and forth we saw that there were a tiny set of eyes about every square meter, sparkling back at us like tiny diamonds. We were surrounded, and it was a little bit creepy. Close inspections revealed that they were spiders.
Was fun to find this old trip report on a cold March day. Fun little read. I liked the spider part. I hammock camped in the Mexican jungle once and had a similar experience. Oh look, spider eyes! Oh look, more spider eyes. Holy shit, that's a lot of spider eyes....
Made me glad I wasn't weirded out by spiders and also glad that I wasn't an insect.
