  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🕷️💨 The jungle #huntsman #spider from #Queensland reached 3.59 meters per second, doubling the previous #arachnid speed record.

    Researchers at #Imperial College #London measured 162 #species across four #continents to study spider #locomotion. They found that longer legs relative to body size predict greater speed.

  2. CW: Spider (Mr Fuzzylegs)

    Mr Fuzzylegs has been wandering around by house for a few days & turning up in unexpected places. Yesterday, I accidentally put my hand on him as I was going upstairs. It turns out he also has a fuzzy butt.😆 Don't worry, we didn't hurt each other. Here he is today after collecting cobwebs.

    The movie Arachnophobia made this species out to be deadly but they're actually harmless to humans.

  3. In honor of the Opiliones that years ago entered the kitchen & climbed the counter - to eat Schnitzel crumbs! It rotated a crumb like a cob of corn.

  4. Gliding Spider

    Sure, an adult human can probably cope with one bite from these arachnids, but these things swarm large targets and can deliver multiple bites, cause their victims to drop into a coma, and possible death.
