Reading the Writing on the Wall Possible Breakthough in Inter-species Communicatin

An Artists Brush with Science

I took of tiny new born spiders on my house,in order to find out more about them I sent this picture to The University of California’s Entomology Department.  As it turns out for years scientist at UC Berkeley have been studying the very predictable patterns that newly hatched spiders create when they first leave their nest and were willing to talk to me about their studies.

Because, my  garden spiders, Papal Cross spiders areana diadmeteta are plentiful in the Bay area they and have easily spotted markings on their backs they are the most commonly used arachnid for research on inter-species communication.

I was surprised to find out that the latest finding, is that these spiders are not only communicating with each other but also human beings. This very picture help cracked the code and translate the spiders  communications. it reads:

“Respect the Web of Life”

This was suppose to be April Fools but I think that may be what spiders would say if they could.

These spiders are real and they grow up to be lovely ladies that eat the flies and mosquitoes in my garden for which I am grateful!
