fierce and beautiful.
You’re getting better every post. Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks?
That’s beautiful.
This is amazing. I’m trying to understand what I’m looking at. Around 45 seconds I can see something moving. What part of the spider would that be? I looked up spider anatomy and thought it could maybe be the chelicera?
Horrifying! I love it.
Hey PZ, at my previous house I used to have a large, nasty looking spider living by the door. I liked to toss in different kinds of bugs and watch the murder take place. I noticed there was one species of beetle that would sit perfectly still in the nest, then move one leg at a time in very slow motion. In about an hour or two it was able to get out of the web without ever being noticed. Have you ever seen that behavior?
