notes:
Text describes the spider as being as large as the palm of a man's hand and black (a tarantula or Theraphosidae Dipluridae?). The natives don't kill it, because it consumes smaller, bothersome insects. The spotted fly is a kind of long fly that perches in trees and makes a noise at night like that of a grasshopper. The author noted these creatures while he was in Santo Domingo (Saint Domingue).
