      NWforager my dad is the perfect height for walking into cobwebs and spider webs. And he does it every single time. He hates it because his hair is receded from the front and his scalp is super sensitive and he has just enough hair for the sticky threads to get caught into his hair.
      It makes me laugh every time. I personally am terrified of spiders, particularly the big ass wolf ones. If they're tiny and on a web far away from me, And stay ON that web we're cool. And while I feel bad to think of how their webs get wrecked by bicycles and people passing through, sometimes I gotta wonder what the hell the spider was thinking when it comes to residency location choices.
      Like one time there was huge ass spider web smack in the middle of the front door, with part of it on the door handle. Yeah that location was gone in two seconds. Like, come on now spider, DAMN.

    As an arachnophobe, I found this video extremely satisfying. Because of my fear of spiders, and being more or less a naturalist, instead of killing them out of fear (not hate because I don't hate them just because I fear them) I have spent my time over the years watching and observing spiders (the web weaving kind, especially banana/azealia/golden web weaver spiders since they're most common in the area here (Southern Alabama), but there are just some things you just can't see or notice without a time lapse. About a month ago, I intentionally put a small stick an a banana spider's web just to watch how it would take it out; I wasn't trying to mean or harmful, I simply wanted to learn and the only way I could was to "interact". As I watched the spider slowly remove the web from the stick, I became curious on what makes spiders choose where to spin their webs, and is there a thought process behind the designs before they begin weaving or is all instinctual?
    Though this video didn't answer either question because that's something you'd have to more or less get in the spider's head to truly know, it did show me how the webs them selves were constructed. Regardless of me fears, spiders are amazing creatures. I just hope I don't have nightmares tonight after having watched this video lol.

      @cryb0rg Місяць тому

      It's so easy to deny. Infact, its 100x more deep, mindblowing and fulfilling when you begin to wrap your head around the TRUE god that is nature itself; Existence. Unfathomable complexity that supercedes our feeble concepts of intelligence. Think harder and longer and deeper than stopping at "god" when you brush against something you can't understand or that inspires awe within you.

    Pretend you're the fly.. Imagine the terror of being stuck while a huge 8-legged, 8-eyed, hairy thing with two fangs closes in on you. Also, flies experience time much slower than humans, so it's all in slow motion.

    @abbydubreuil6919 Рік тому

    The way she rips the threads to get the fly more entangled and then has to make sure she still has a grip on the web while tying to subdue the fly rips up a lot of web possibly the integrity of the whole structure and how it’s designed to work when she tightens everything taut from the middle. makes me think they’re meant to be single use products only so maybe we don’t have to worry so much about bumping into them 😊
    It reminded me of me of how my husband yanks up when he feels a fish on his line. Then has to hang on to the rod while trying to reel it in
