Date: November 15th, 2025 6:38 PM Author: OldHLSDude I've watched spiders for years and think they are able to solve spatial problems pretty well. It takes me back to childhood when I spent a lot of time watching ants. It didn't seem possible that ants could do what they do with their tiny little physical brains, so I developed the notion that their brains extended into hyperspace so that they were effectively much larger.

Date: November 15th, 2025 6:52 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK This video explains how orb weavers use their webs as giant external eardrums, and how they tune them to filter out noise from wind and birds and stuff. They say it's a more effective design than any eardrum we've ever analyzed in any animal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5798583&forum_id=2)#49434120) |

He's waiting for me to step outside and not shut the door behind me so he can get into the house and lay low for the winter. At first I was not keen on this idea, but the more I think about, the more it seems to make sense. Tomorrow, I am going to walk to the end of the driveway and I am not going to shut the front door behind me. He will have 3 minutes. |

I fed it grasshoppers and kept it alive for a long time despite knowing nothing about it. I cried when it finally died. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5798583&forum_id=2)#49434579) |
