  1. CW: Spiders (not visible, just the web)

    The sheetweaver spider. They build a kind of trampoline suspended below random crazy web. Bugs fly through the crazy web, collide with a thread and fall onto the trampoline. Then the spider waiting below the trampoline bites them through the the web and then drags them out to eat.

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🕷️🪐 #Spider-like channels etch #Mars’ southern hemisphere, carved by seasonal #CO2 ice that sublimes under #spring sunlight, building gas pressure until it cracks the ground and jets dust.

    Lab #experiments at #NASA’s #JPL, in a liquid-nitrogen chamber called DUSTIE, recreated that process. A follow-up showed soil grain size and #water content shape how these features form, and they may hint at Mars’ warmer, wetter past.

  4. (Posting in my own personal capacity.) A fascinating look into this little #spider’s life in its two-chamber crystal ball web. If you know the species please share in the comments 👇🏼

  5. CW: I like pictures of spiders but some people don't

    Want to see some pictures of really big spiders? I took these on a (not so) recent trip to the rain forests and caves of Borneo.

  6. CW: Spiders!

    Photographed by my husband at the local allotments open day. My iPhone 16 seems to have arachnophobia as my pictures just came out fuzzy (with perfectly focussed dry grass surroundings). She’s a wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi), harmless to humans and a relatively recent arrival. #Gardening #Spider

  7. Bon y a une énorme 🕷️ à la cuisine.

    Du coup on reste à l'étage.

  8. @Moonlit that’s hilarious and I’m glad it all worked out for you (and the spider). We have a dedicated clear plastic cup with a piece of cardboard that we call our “spider catcher”. It’s always kept by our bookshelf on standby 😆 but it does require closer interaction with the #spider

    Dimorphic Jumping Spider, eine winzige Springspinne, wartet auf dem Mueckengitter vor der Tuer auf Beute.
