Let's do Some Zoology!

I’m just a simple 18 year old guy and zoology student that posts random factoids about obscure animals and general animal science/zoology/biology stuff so if you like animals this is the place for you, if you only like cute animals this is not the place for you… I also like astronomy and some weirdos from youtube called the creatures so I’m prone to reblog stuff about that too because this techically is a personal blog...

Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Whip Spider (Argyrodes colubrinus)

is a species of comb-footed spider found in eastern Australia. This spider is noted for eating juvenile wandering spiders by immediately descending on them when the spider hits its web. They are also characterized by their long abdomen from which I assume they get their name, this long abdomen probably helps camouflage the arachnid among sticks.
