Spiders

[Tshokwane]

Since I was a kid, Spiders have fascinated me, for a million reasons, and I'm probably one of the few people that I know of here where I live that likes them.

Everyone likes size, and power. Everyone likes to be the tiger, the lion, the bear, the wolf, the crocodile or the shark. The bigger the better, right?

How quickly Spiders are dismissed, only because they're tiny and "scary little critters", when in fact they're possibly the most perfect hunters on the planet, not limited to just one or two ways of catching their prey, but in thousands of ways, as many as species there are of Spiders.

And they're not just destroyers. They're also builders. How many other species we know of that can do both things and excel at it?...

Through this thread, that is bound to be corrected and perfected the same way a spider would create her web, I want to share with you my fascination for these creatures using the help from people who know much more than me about them, but that also love these animals. Reply
