Australian Invertebrate Forum Journal

I am the editor of the Australian Invertebrate Forum Journal. We released our first issue in June 2008. If you would like a good read on Australian invertebrates you can get Issue 1 here. We are currently working on our second issue for release in late December 2008 so stay tuned. The AIF forum is owned by Greg Bylund who set up The Green Scorpion website which sells tarantulas, scorpions, and other invertebrates and accessories. Greg, who is a builder in real life, is an absolute gold mine of information on invertebrates and has given freely of his time to me to assist in my little research projects. Members of the Australian Invertebrate Forum can access the journal and many other articles written by members and non-members alike.

  1. At first I found spiders repulsive, but then, since seeing a bunch of little spiders coming out of eggs that had just hatched I find them very interesting. Good work Charles, Keep on writing!

  2. Carolina, yes the little ones are cute the way they run around in a big mass of legs.

    Azoreano, the tarantula in the photo is a good size isn't she :).
