Spider bends grass into a shelter.

Posted by Neil Bromhall on August 14, 2008 at 5:49pm

Spiders come in all shapes and sizes and are pretty very clever.This ambush crab spider can be found on plants waiting for insects to come to them. They usually select flowers or grasses to match their own body colour so that they blend in with the background, then pounce when an insect comes within range.Not only is that pretty smart in my reckoning, but this spider has worked out that bending over and securing a blade of grass, she can sit on top of her eggs to protect them plus keep them sheltered from the rain.A good example of parental care and ingenuity in nature
