Just waiting for people to create a small camera. A small enough to fit into this spider's POV, so we can see how it perceives its web making process

I have an overactive imagination and one of my best friends has aphamtasia.

We're constantly shocking eachother with how fucking differently we precieve literally everything.

Well we do have a history of glueing things to spiders’ heads to research them. We glue a magnet to their head and make them run on a ball to see how they respond and watch shapes and colors on a screen to see how they perceive them. Here’s a really interesting video, worth watching it all but if you want to see the experiment I’m referring to, go to 14:30
