Last week, Rose taught me the ngaKarimojong word for spider, asimokok. "Big spider" is epol asimokok.
Today I thought I'd share a picture, taken by Dr. Jim Knox, of a spider that's happily building a massive web just next to the pit latrines at the clinic.
Jim knows I'm not exactly what you'd call a fan of spiders, and he kept nagging me to take a look at it. Finally one day I went over and took a glance... it's terrifying. It's huge. Thankfully every time I've walked by and looked at it it's been still.... if I ever see it moving I'll probably lose one of my nine lives.
But in a way it's terribly beautiful as well.
