Benjw, would it help any if it had to be a wild creature, not raised/herded/domesticated by humans ''and'' you must have a photo of it? I think that might make it more difficult. Not that difficulty should be the measure of an achievement. I can get the frozen achievement just by doing a normal geohash during a whole 4-5 months of a year where I live. relet, I chose to use a oft used image from xkcd to name the achivement, but if you think that the achievement should be called something different, you should say this needs work, and suggesting the change in addition to opposing on Benjw's points.

Proposed achievement relating to spiders only: Do not oppose, but I really can't see that there's much point to it. You don't have to do anything; you just score a ribbon if you happen to see a spider at some point en route. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.

Proposed achievement relating to the whole animal kingdom: Oppose. It would just be too easy to get -- I think every single one of my expeditions has involved going past sheep or horses in a field, or someone out dog-walking, or just seeing some birds in a tree. -- Benjw 16:14, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
