RE: The not so Itsy-Bitsy Spider Beside the Water Spout

in Fascinating Insects β€’ 3 years ago

"...s my hair almost got stuck in his nest, or rather, it almost destroyed the web."

Well, I walked under it, because I didn't even realize it. One of the girls I walked with to get some water, told me that she was about to warn me and realized I could walk under it πŸ˜‚.

Sort: Β 

Yeah when we were kids we used to have sticks at our front and backdoors cause every time we went out at night it was like a game of ninja warriors to get through all of the webs throughout our trees and we have some big trees in our yard too, like Golden Cypruses which is about 30 feet tall (they told mum in 1960 that it would grow to 6ft tall...🀣..) and all of the huntsmens and would spiders LOVE to live in those trees...So we got used the freakout web in the head dance...🀣...

Hahaha damn scary.
I've watched too many documentaries on wildlife in Australia and am a bit scared, although I would still like to see it someday with the right clothes and gear πŸ˜….

No you don't need the right clothes and gear, you just need clothes.

I mean, we don't walk about every day wearing safari clothes and boots, we just wear shorts and thongs, mostly bare feet...

Just watch a bugs life first. It's just like that...sort of...🀣

Hahahahaa I can imagine.... and I've seen it, so I think I can manage πŸ˜….

🀣🀣 I do know from a movie of the Olsen twins that there's a beach, so I hope that I can swim hihihi

Well this is the beach I grew up at....https://peakd.com/hive-119888/@chociscorpipro/just-a-post-about-a-sensational-sea-and-the-place-i-call-home-tathra-nsw which is just around the corner from here https://peakd.com/hive-119888/@chociscorpipro/my-shimmering-stingray-seaphotography-contest--week-156-sea-and-animals and yes you can swim there...BUT there are shark out in the deep- in the deeeeep...

I've never known or heard of anyone to be taken from swimming on the beach, only a swimmer who dove off the old wharf to swim to the beach- which is just silly, cause that's where people fish- off the old wharf, so you NEVER swim where people are fishing. That's just plain stupid.

And at least there's no Crocs down in this part of the world, cause crocs are both land and sea animals and shark are only sea dwelling....And there's no stingers down here- atleast not the really deadly ones anyway...

...cause that's where people fish- off the old wharf, so you NEVER swim where people are fishing. That's just plain stupid.

I try to abide by that rule here myself. We have piranhas in our rivers and eels and what not, so whenever I see people fishing I'll try not to go swimming there.

Suriname also has sharks, but I think at the coast. Not really inland where the swimming places usually are, so I haven't seen a shark yet in Suriname.

So you can still swim in the rivers with the Piranhas??? Really?

I've got nothing against sharks, except for the millions of razor sharp teeth and swimming speed....but I don't want to kill them so so many people do..so I like to stay away from them as much as possible thanks, I'm certainly not the Shark Whisperer like this Aussie lady was/is https://www.wildbear.tv/work/playing-with-sharks-the-valerie-taylor-story/

Hahahaa I'll also stay away from anything that bites. I was even bitten once by a cute bunny you know πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ€£. I was feeding it and then I had nothing left and it bit me. Also very sharp teeth. Although, if I were in a divers suit in a cage, MAYBE.... I would "swim" with the shark. But it won't be happening tomorrow though hahahaa

So you can still swim in the rivers with the Piranhas??? Really?

Yes, almost all of our rivers have piranhas and some swimming locations are in those rivers. What those businesses then do is put nets in the water, so that the swimmers are "safe". Of course, number 1 rule is to not eat or drink near the water.

Yeah, but you can walk under almost anything.

πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ hahaha ja ja and it was my height that helped me with the altitude :p
