I know your age range just from the master of disguise reference
Saw that shit in theatres. As well as Baby Geniuses 2 and Meet the Spartans.
You're my exact age 31. And 32 in a few months
Sleep tight.
Why limit it to the US? Dolomedes is international.
Also yes I will sleep tight, knowing these adorable and accomplished spiders are out there living their best lives.
there's the slight alleviating factor of most people not living in lakes
Not entirely accurate, there are some save zones in North- an West Alaska.
What does red mean?
Red is land, white represents where the spiders are.
We've lost Canada and Mexico to the spiders already...
Obviously this blue part here is the land...
But how do they fish on land?
Don't read so well, do ya?
Who said that? Who's talking?
Spider.
That would be very disheartening if I lived in America
They are in many countries. But they are not scary.

Thanks, I hate it.
Poor turtle :( he's just a little fella
How strong is that spider that it can lift a turtle? Will one nuke be enough?

“This silk used to lift the prey, it’s very strong, comparable to steel, but it is as elastic as the normal silk you would use to make clothes”
That’s crazy, and awesome.
That's gotta be in Australia...
Nope, southern US. Found in a local group.
Great find! There are various members of Dolomedes in other countries. Some specialise in rivers, other lakes.
Nope, that's a north American species.
That's it, I'm petitioning the Army to let me have my M203 back.
