Fact of the Day: Spider Spin
The word spider is derived from the Old English spinnan which is realted to the modern word spin.
Interesting - here in Australia we have deadly spiders so spider catching is very dangerous. Some species can kill within 1/2 hour. So if any reader comes here - avoid spiders just like sharks, feral pigs, feral water buffaloes, crocodiles and our lovely venomous snakes! B J Hunnicut aka Colin

I kinda like spiders. When I find one in my apartment, I take him outside.
Ah, that is interesting! In German a spider is called "Spinne"!

And spin they sure can do
A good name for them since they are great spinners.
they're so fast in spinning their webs, it takes them literally nanoseconds to web it
Seems like the perfect name.
Interesting.
You do?
Did you clock them? :p
I admire spiders and appreciate that they eat many of the bugs that would torment me. But I don't want them on me or interacting with me.
That makes sense.
Lovely photo!
