Spider 1, Bird 0

October 22, 2008 by myrmecos

Take that, vertebrate scum!

Incidentally, my wife used to have one of these Nephila spiders nesting in the high ceiling of her living room when she was living in Queensland.  I guess she used it to dissuade potential suitors, but somehow I made it through.

    Very cool!
    So I take it the that your wife was supporting a bias towards arthropodiphiles?

    Seems like a reasonable bias to me.
