i like spiders on my tv, but if there were one in my room i’d freak out big time. anyway, bolas spiders are so cool. they use a single thread of silk like a lasso to capture moths flying by. and they will capture many during a lasso session and wrap em up, like saran wrap for later i guess.

trapdoor spiders have really interesting behavior as well. they dig small tunnels and construct a camouflaged door amongst sticks and leaves to hang out in. when they feel something move up above, the door springs open and the spider snatches it up in no time. i would be so shook if i was a cricket.
