Spiders!

Yes, this thread is about a spider... in fact, a very particular spider, one that's on my screen right now... no clue where he came from, but he chases my pointer wherever it goes!

    Pictures are not sufficient, you need video evidence to prove that he is actually chasing the pointer and you're not just putting it where he is. I really want to demand this but I'm not in the position to demand anything.

    This spider is a wee boss. This is because she is a vegetarian spider that makes a living stealing food and the occasional baby from those ants that have a symbiotic arrangement with acacia trees.

    Look at this crazy little gal, she is awesome.

    why is a vegetarian spider stealing babies

    is she corrupting them, training them to infiltrate, subvert and overthrow their ant companions?

    How do you think the spider is able to evade the many ant patrols and find safe places to rest between snacks? She obviously has informants on the inside.

    I'm just trying to understand what a vegetarian spider is doing with ant babies

    maybe she's telling them stories
    maybe she's raising them as spiders to confuse the hell out of them
    maybe she's starving them to death and then building little tiny spider houses out of them

    It is not for us to know

    well you could put it on youtube

    alternatively, you could host it on your geocities page because you obviously haven't been on the internet since 1996

    Maybe some of you are familiar with Portia spiders? They are a type of jumping spider that specializes in hunting and eating other spiders, they are pretty awesome too.

    They are damn intelligent, and their eyesight is about as good as yours or mine, they use this eyesight to analyze their prey, what kind of spider am I hunting? What is its method of attack? Can I ambush it from here or from the other side?

    Of course their brains are pretty small too so this thinking can take them a several minutes before they can call up the appropriate memories and responses necessary. It's worth it though because having the ability to plan ahead is great stuff when you are up against predators just as deadly as yourself.

    These dudes are pretty nuts, read this it is awesome.

    Dubh, some people think spiders are pretty great, this is kind of like a cute thread for me.

    It is very easy to not click on a thread which obviously does not interest you, for instance I have failed to click on the Grizunsendra Bearhartdown thread many times today. Please don't take spider threads away from me, I do love them so.

    EDIT: I liked your video, Garick. It is unfortunate I don't see many spiders where I live.

    Marsh, where do you live so I may avoid the spiders? Where?

    You should add that to the OP, dude. It reminds me of my cat chasing my cursor. Only it's a spider. But seriously think of the people who are gonna wake up and check this thread at work in like three hours. They won't have the patience to scroll down half a page.
