The best technology for studying rare species, you ask? Why a spoon, of course!

[PIMzP SOUzP]

It's house has a little sand flap door. haha Crazy. You would never know it was there.

[Morgan Hodkinson]

Most disgusting thing ever is when it goes into it's burrow again, legs sticking out.

"he looks like he's going to get somewh..OH NO". I lost it there. xD

[LubricateThe Goat]

It wasn't hate, It was an observation followed by a question. But ok.

[Mike91337]

i was wondering the same damn thing, and even had the confused stuttering why when i asked myself lol

[GrateMilenko]

vibration detectors? lasers?

[GrateMilenko]

the spoons mark the relative location of spider burrow. the prongs of whatever type mark his burrow. exact location. the spoon is larger and easier to see. im sure they do something
