This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Don't spiders actually sort of rather drink their prey than eating it? We digest food inside us, spiders just vomit up shit onto paralysed prey that liquifies it so the spider can just sort of slurp it up.
So I wonder how he'll do with a turtle. It's easy enough to imagine on a fish, but...
This is basically the plot of IT.
Fascinating is not the word I would use to describe that
How about 'fucking nuts, dude'?
It's a guilty pleasure that I love The Matter of Disguise.
Sleep tight.
But the spiders is Australia are worse right? Thats how I justify sleeping at night. Tell me its true.
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.
Not entirely accurate, there are some save zones in North- an West Alaska.
there's the slight alleviating factor of most people not living in lakes
What does red mean?
Red is land, white represents where the spiders are.
We've lost Canada and Mexico to the spiders already...
This comment is full of spiders. Using darkmode just hides them in the dark
Spider.
That would be very disheartening if I lived in America
these days it doesn't even make the top 10 list of disturbing things for people living 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?
"Laughs in australian"
Let's see how strong they are under a blanket of napalm.
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
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.
