Oh, no! I misspelled spinnerets! Oops. Ahahaha! Yes. Perhaps I should list “salesperson of specialized transportation solutions” as my dream job. I can see myself now. The mother wolf spider stops lugging her heavy egg sac for one moment to wipe her face with a weary pedipalp, and I make my sales pitch. “Hello, Ma’am… … …and then there are our special lightweight models, not as durable perhaps as the Pine and Willow varieties, but very good for long-distance travel. They come in three colors: Fresh Alfalfa, Golden Wheat, and Hay-Splinter.” She strokes her chelicerae pensively, then accepts a free… Read more ยป
