This is a movie of Rachel taking a machete to a fallen tree.  Beware: You will have to turn your head to watch this because it was taken vertically and we can't rotate it!

This is the tarantula that was parasitized by a fungus.  It's thought that the fungus will infiltrate the spider's (or insect's) brain and induce it to climb up as high as it can before the animal dies and the fungus sporulates.  (Bryn's addendum: the fungus that causes the spider to climb is probably a different one.  The whole climbing thing is speculative and he doesn't want to be associated with that kind of tomfoolery.)
