Some spiders display unique personalities, study finds - Polidicks

[quote]Armed with branch cutters, pillowcases, and a vibrator, a team of scientists has discovered how social spiders in India assign chores within their colonies – and they say it has to do with spider personalities. Big and bold? Go get that grasshopper! Slightly more timid? Maybe stay home, take care of the brood, and clean the nest or something. “Bolder individuals were the ones that engaged in prey attack,” said Lena Grinsted, now a postdoc at the University of Sussex, and coauthor of the study describing the spiders that appeared July 30 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. ”We hypothesize that the ones who don’t participate in prey attack participate in brood care, but it’s something we haven’t tested yet.” [/quote] [url=http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/07/social-spiders/]Source: Wired[/url]

That would explain that cunt of a Opilione Spider who tormented me for a few weeks over Summer with his corner wall shenanigans. I'd ruin his webs and the next morning he'd move to the next corner of the room with an even more complex web. I've killed bigger things than him for more trivial pursuits but I couldn't bring myself to broom that cunt. Sadly he past away, if I could stuffed the bastard I would have, he was a fighter.

I'm fucking terrified of spiders but theres just something about those little jumping spider bros that makes them adorable, I'd even hold one.

I remember I had this one spider at my window, I would watch it do spidery shit. He isn't there anymore.

Jumping spiders and daddy long legs are fine but I saw a daddy long leg on the side of the top bunk bed (my bed) and killed it than another spider I think showed up again to it. Didn't see any jumping spiders though only saw 2 or 3 in my lifetime.

Spiders always look like they move frame by frame. It's weird and they should be set afire for doing it.

A tiny wolf spider crawled out of my shoe once and scared the shit out of me. A few months later that same pair of shoes was literally covered in ants. I only wear sandals now.

Some spiders display unique personalities and somehow they all manage to be terrifying

now i'll feel even better when i step on one

[QUOTE=maurits150;41680058]I think daddy long legs are the worst.[/QUOTE] Theyre so chill, I have like 10 in my room atm they get all the bugs Sometimes they give me a fright by popping down on a sliver of web right in front of my computer screen but they are harmless

I wish they went more in depth with where spiders place webs based on aggression. I understand mostly its because of food sources, but are some trying to catch a human. Walk away, come back, whole new web world.

Right now I can see a dead spider on the opposite side of the room. He got what was coming to him after he tried to rush me every goddamn night as well as hanging on my ceiling above me, ready to drop down any moment. By the way, what's with Spiders and cocaine? I won't go into detail, but seriously?

There's been a daddy long legs hanging around in our house for a while now. He eats all of the mosquitoes, and in return, i allow him to reside in the corner of my room.

I watched a tiny spider watch a fly x2 bigger than it circle around it a few days ago It was hilarious ... then someone in the house came and killed them both

Eh i used spiders for fly traps, i used to have about 4 in my room in the window.

There was a Desert Recluse on my computer monitor yesterday, sneaky fucking assholes. One bite from that and I'd probably end up like this person. nsfw [url]http://diseasespictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Brown-Recluse-Spider-Bite.jpg[/url] [editline]2nd August 2013[/editline] I actually don't mind most spiders though, but the only ones I'd kill on site are any type of Recluse or a Black Widow.

You should probably link that image, it's highly nsfw.

thanks vague
