Spiders And Their Prey!

[pusskin]

I've just been mesmerised by watching a spider wrapping up a flying ant.
Arent they amazing, and the web he has constructed is a work of art.
Will look and wait to watch spider wrap the other one up.
cant see me doing any irioning today now, lol

Did you notice that prior to wrapping up their 'work of art' they grab the beastie and bang it up with a lethal dose of venom first! (from their two fangs)

So great that you are fascinated by the smaller animals that grace this planet, pusskin. Apparently spiders spin different types of strands too. And they never 'bite' just for the sake of it, only for food or when it feels threatened.

The more you understand them, the more interesting they become.
Ironing can always wait!

I find spiders fascinaitng and wish I could get over my phobia of them. I've tried really hard but I still can't stand them very near me, but they are clever fabulous little things.

they are nature's mechanical marvels, and the silk from most species has a greater tensile strength than kevlar or steel

Spiders are amazing and I often spy on them when making their webs.
But --i cannot sleep in my bedroom with the window open for fear of them crawling in through the window. Couldnt stand waking up to see one hanging inches from my face, or crawling on my face. Terrifying thought!
I'm happy being inches away from them.
