Did you know there is a large spider called "le blonde"?


I doubt it, somehow. Le blond or la blonde, perhaps :-)

Quite so :~). Thinking on it a bit longer, I recall it was named after
a Monsieur Le Blond, so I think the spider is actually called Le Blondi,
allowing for a degree of Latinese. Huge spider, though. Lovely.
