“This silk used to lift the prey, it’s very strong, comparable to steel, but it is as elastic as the normal silk you would use to make clothes”

That’s crazy, and awesome.

Red is land, white represents where the spiders are.

[–] Pyro@programming.dev 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

We've lost Canada and Mexico to the spiders already...

Why limit it to the US? Dolomedes is international.

Also yes I will sleep tight, knowing these adorable and accomplished spiders are out there living their best lives.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

there's the slight alleviating factor of most people not living in lakes

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago
