This little guy was on the wall just under our internal fuse box. I don't think I've seen anything quite like this before.
Anybody recognise it?????
It's only a centimeter across the legs so this pic is magnified around 10 to 12 times depending on your screen resolution. I'm not sure why the legs are twisted, we haven't touched it. And it hasn't moved in the last 4hrs
Yes, I recognise it.
It's a spider.
It probably fell out of it's web and broke it's poor litttle leg, thus it's twisted.
And if it's not moving, it's dead.
Press the 'like' button if that has helped.
The fall theory looks right, trouble is it's a meter up a wall, could have mistimed a Tarzan act on the end of a long thread I guess and just slammed into the wall.
I was about to say it still hasn't moved 6hrs later, but check this.
Legs still don't look comfortable but they have moved.
Spider Rigamortis perhaps?
Possibly just molted.
If its anything like the blue manna's I've had for a year, the legs would be very floppy.
well I didn't kill him/her/it but dead it definitely is, fell to the floor sometime during the night.
It would be the husk of a male spider .
After mating its killed & eaten by the female sucks the life out only leaving a husk .

So just like normal marriage then?

Certainly is very light, I guess that's what you call being "completely drained".
I sometimes think spiders get it right .
After mating they pay with there life .
Humans after mating pay for the rest of there life
