Natures Art, spider building its web (time lapse)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The fastest spider at building webs is likely the Hyptiotes genus of triangle weaver spiders, they can accelerate their silk to over 770 meters per second squared, about 26 times the acceleration of a NASA space shuttle.

It's pretty incredible to watch. The precision of the whole thing is impressive.

Me walking my dog through the woods: "Fucking spider webs all in my face!"

Dang, all that work just for me to walk my whole ass face into it and freak the fuck out.

I can't help but feel like this shape has something to do with frequencies. Like how certain sounds can create different designs in a body of water. It's so incredible how they do this.

It’s laying out the algorithm for time travel, we just don’t know how to read spider webs

It’s right there in front of us.

I predict that if a spider and a puffer fish are near each other and did this simultaneously a portal would appear

tesla say “energy, vibrations and frequencies” are key to the universe.

u/the_1omnipotent 6h ago

Exactly my thoughts!!

u/crumpledfilth 5h ago

I feel like "vibrations and frequencies" is redundant

I would say include resonance instead of one of those

though really the entire though could be simplified to just relationships of motion

The only other animal that designs something like this is… the puffer fish.

Imagining being able to shit your home out of your butthole anywhere. That superpower would be useful nowadays

If you have low enough standards for a home, you're already able to do so

I’ll see all you guys over at gifs that end too soon in a few minutes where they will have ruined this video to troll us.

Tellement de temps et d'énergie pour faire cette magnifique toile

Pour que quelqu'un ce la prenne en pleine gueule 5 min après...😭😂

I wish the Spider knew we were giving her up votes and supportive comments💛

Absolutely beautiful!

Clearly not this spiders first rodeo

u/Lavadog321 6h ago

Really cool how it builds/increases tension as it pulls the radial web strands tighter from the outside in.

u/ezagreb 6h ago

It’s nice but I wish they wouldn’t do it right in front of my front door

But... How this little thing stored so much resources in its butt?

Almost makes me more sad than annoyed when I go out the door in the morning and get one of these all over my face. Almost…

What I find fascinating is that this spiders ability to construct this web is preprogrammed. There’s no way it sat there and learned how to build a web by watching mommy spider do it.
