So the bolas spider makes a fucking mace and swings it at its prey? That's badass.

I can't believe that such tiny insects can be so intelligent and remarquable predators!

got back from my run this morning and as i was walking in through the back door as i always do i saw a very messy web next to it and my first thought was ooh a redback! bent down and had a closer look and sure enough there she was :) took a photo and all then let her be. I'll be checking on her every so often though to make sure she doesn't crawl into one of my shoes or something

I may be frightened of small spiders but I find them all so amazing in what they can do, and this is where I feel so bad when I squish one because despite how venomous or hideous they may look they do so much more for us than we realize.
