Who took a bite out of the moon?
Lavern Baker – Soul On Fire.
The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon’s phases. The time between successive new moons is 29.5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moon’s orbital period (measured against the stars) since the Earth moves a significant distance in its orbit around the Sun in that time.
The European House Spider is often called a drain spider because when one falls into a sink or bath tub and cannot climb the smooth sides, people assume it come up through the drain. This spider belongs to the family Agelenidae (the funnel web spiders).
This is a medium sized brown spider with proportionately long legs. Females are up to 11.5 mm in body length and males are up to 9 mm. The legs are banded with lighter browns and the abdomen is marked with a grey chevron pattern. Adult males can be identified by the swollen club-like tips to the pedipalps (short leg-like structures at the front of the head between the legs and the fangs).
This species can be found indoors all year round. They are more frequently found in the autumn when they come inside to escape the colder weather.
This male spider had it leg chewed off by my pussy, Kitty, It ran away with only seven legs…. But it grew another leg!! You can see it 1:32 & 1:48.. I take a photo of it every time I see it… but i’ve not seen it for a couple of day.. how long do they live???
