Why get a blanket for your homie when you can make one?

Is that a spider crib or is she putting her child in time out?

Gee, I think I'll order my ticket and book my flight right away.  There's nothing better than cuddling with a spider.   Beats a boyfriend any day.

Damn, it looks as if it's got wings.  I've heard the saying 'when pigs fly' but do they say 'when spiders fly' in Egypt?

Tuning Webs

Spiders tune each strand of their web to a specific frequency by making some strands tighter than others so that when something is caught in it, the spider can easily pinpoint where it is. This is also used for determining whether the source of the sound is a food or a potential mate.

Aren't spiders just adorable? Well okay, in most cases they're bloody terrifying, but that image might change when you take a closer look. As close as to where their feet should be, where you'll find that spiders have paws!
