We named the telescope after the iconic huntsman spiders, which are abundant at Siding Spring Observatory, including inside the various telescope buildings. Perhaps the ants took offence that we chose to honour other arthropods and not them.

The other thing I've been doing, either up at launch while "parawaiting" for good weather or after I've landed while I'm waiting for the retrieve vehicle, is to snap photos for iNaturalist. I recently started using my mostly-dormant account for fun. I've probably got 60 or 70 different species observations to upload, mostly plants. And this is just what are probably considered common weeds around roadsides and farm fields. I got 20 new plant species this afternoon alone, plus this really cool beetle and spider.

Here are a few WIP photos. I've been using ink more and more, and really enjoying the feel of it. I also tried stretching the paper 3x with gum tape before I gave up, redrew the spider, and just stapled it to a board.
