Oak Processionary composite My very first composite macro. Kind of sloppy when you zoom in, so please don't :) I wanted to use this composite to show how an Oak Processionary pulls itself up. Macro,Oak Processionary,Thaumetopoea processionea 1000 species milestone reached! Dear community, thanks to you we reached a new milestone: 1,000 unique species on JungleDragon! To celebrate, I made a small (50$) donation for the preservation of the Tiger. Keep up the good work in sharing photos and identifying and adding species! Donations The Slap Panthera tigris,Tiger Playtime Asian elephant,Elephas maximus,Funny,Humor Glossy Ibis Birds,Glossy Ibis,Plegadis falcinellus Tiger glue The 'spitting spider' catches prey in a very particular way. It hunts during night, when all insects are at rest. The spider sneaks very carefully towards its prey. When it is up close it stops and carefully measures the distance to its prey with one front leg without disturbing the insect. Then it spits two poisonous silk threads in a zigzag manner over the victim. The prey is immediately immobilized. When the prey is larger the spider spits several times. It is assumed the spider uses special long hearing hairs located at its legs to locate its prey. It is usefull because it also catches mosquito's. This is the only member of the Scythodes family living in The Netherlands. They only live inside houses.
