Do spiders have super powers?


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Over 350 million years, spiders have evolved some impressive skills. Size for size, if spiders were as big as humans, some of these skills could be considered superhuman.

Wasn't this the entire premise for Spiderman?

I never knew that some spiders can dive and survive even for few days underwater, in the air bubble. Just wow.

I am never ceased to be amazed how handicapped we humans are if we are about to compare our powers to those found in the animal kingdom.

How to heck we manage to rule this world, i am often wondering...

Spiders are the most beautiful awesome creatures in the world, that come in many varieties and have remarkable skills,and an an ancient lineage, that I always step on, crush, mangle and poison. As long as they are just on Youtube, they're cool.

If spiders evolved to be bigger, they would lose much of their physical traits. They only look the way they do because of their size and how they live. They might not grow bigger than a child of four, and would develope much more hair like fur. Furry, big eyed cutesies! They would look much like this, the Bachuru spiders:

They are amazing and the webs beautiful. I have seen many after a rain and how they held up might put a mason to shame. When the light hits the rain drops on them it's like glistening diamonds. I generally use a glass and move them out side or deposit them on a plant.

They also have the power to eat insects.

A very impressive super power indeed.

For this I am most grateful.

So, if I bite a spider, does that take his "super-powers" away???

I don't know but depending on the 8 legged one, they might take yours.

I try to make sure I don't hurt the wrong ones, so I keep this ID Chart handy.

Humans are the most irrational species. :no:

Spiders are terrified, like this one hiding from Psyche101:

Do spiders have super powers? No. But maybe if we were to cover them in radioactive waste like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were, this would change.
