Pictured is a banana spider, shitloads of them around here. Those are not flying. Looks like this one is making the zig-zag thing some orb weavers make.
Cool fact! They’re also called Golden Orb Weavers because their webs shine gold when the sun hits right.
Well. Fuck.
Adrian Tchaikovsky warned us of this.
For a Sci-Fi newbie who’s thinking of trying out Tchaikovsky, any advice on where to start?
Start off with the Children of Time series, there’s no reason not to. Well written, great story with memorable characters, and a fantastic hard sci-fi twist on what intelligent life really is, and how we think of ourselves and others.
Thanks! I’ll go for that as soon as I’m finished with the Three Body Problem series.
Actually those spiders were pretty damn cool! And it’s an excellent book series.
Oh, for sure. I hate spiders, and I was loathe to read it, but damned if I didn’t enjoy all of them.
flying nope
This spider is clearly on a mission, it has an objective and won’t let anything get in the way of it.
How do the electric fields holds up the scientists?
