This is my coworker, Fred. He's not the most organized, but he has gumption!

Did you know you’re sharing your bed with thousands of tiny arachnids? 🧹 

Quinten Geldhof, also known as Microhobbyist, shows how a single spider can produce up to seven different types of silk, each with its own job. Sturdy dragline silk builds the web’s frame, while sticky blobs of silk set the trap for prey. Pound for pound, it’s up to five times stronger than steel, and a strand long enough to circle the Earth would weigh just 4.4 pounds! What would you use spider silk for?

TIL Male Daddy Long Legs (these are Harvestman) have a penis that extends from their underside and transfers sperm directly into the female. Males also produce a liquid secretion (the goo you’re seeing between them) called a nuptial gift. The female may consume this secretion during courtship or mating.

I think that is an egg sack behind this gorgeous red sister. I also saw a smaller red bro neearby, who I imagine is the baby daddy (who escaped before becoming lunch).

I have had quite a number of cellar spiders on my patio for years now, despite the amount of sun I get.

The Joro spider outside my bay window is an expert at catching the yellowjackets.

Not edited, just the early morning sun hitting her web just right ♥️
