Feeding Spiders :D

I'm officially calling myself a weirdo. Can you guess why? Because at work after I finish eating lunch or wait around the shop to get picked up I go in the "Kitchen" area(It basically has a fridge, microwave and a big sink) and feed the Daddy Longlegs some Red Ants! One day I just wanted to see what would happen if I threw a red ant into the spiders web and wow was I ever ammused! I was so intrigued by watching the bigger spider wrap it's prey into a cocoon and then watch it eat when it was finished. It was mildy disturbing as the ant was still alive inside of the cocoon wiggling around while the spider is sucking the life out of it. Is that cruel? I don't really think so, its the Circle of Life and I'm just speeding the process! I sure would not be saying that if I was red ant though LOL. Besides there are litterally THOUSANDS of ants and red ants all over the place, and I'm sure they're making lots more in their little ant colonies. So I've basically made the bigger spider my little pet. Every day now I go out and find a few red ants and fling them onto the webs. It's the same idea as when people have pet snakes or scorpions and they feed them mice and fish! Anyhoo, there are the three main spiders in the web. The big enchilada and two smaller ones, once I threw about 4 red ants into the web and the big one wrapped two red ants in one cocoon! Let me tell ya these are pretty big ants too! The two smaller ones have a harder time wrapping the ants up since the ants put up a pretty good fight, but they still get the job done. I want to see how big the bigger one will get...think I'll give him a name...Not exactly sure what I should call it though... Anyway, until next time!

Aurora Borealis

One of the earths natural wonders I would love to see one day are the Northern Lights also known as Aurora Borealis. Basically they are these pretty bright lights that shine in Alaska or some random place like Polar areas or something...and they are quite a sight to see! This phenomenon happens when the Earth's magnetic field collides with solar wind...what ever the hell thats supposed to mean. I don't know really how to explain it...it's way too scientifical for me! All I know is they are interesting and beautiful and I want to see them! It's very Final Fantasy like!

Aint they purdy?






This one looks like the Angel of Death from the Ten Commandments movie!
