Description

The Lycosa, or Spider, is thought to be venomous, which is both her transgression and the main source of our inspiration for abhorrence.

These homes are pits that are about a foot deep, first perpendicular, and subsequently bent elbow-wise.

A curb made of straw, various pieces and scraps, and even tiny stones the size of hazelnuts is present on the side of the pit.

Michelet (number 23) has described to us how he made friends with a Spider while working as a printer's apprentice in a cellar.

As March draws to a close, the young people's exodus from the community starts. One of the gourd family plants, sometimes known as the squirting cucumber, thrives amidst the roadside trash.

When fully mature, the seeds float in a liquid that was formerly the meaty core.

One of man's clever nefarious inventions is the fowling-snare.

To the right and left of a barren area, two sizable earthen coloured nets are spread out on the ground.

They are pushed together like a pair of shutters by a long string that the fowler pulls at precisely the appropriate time. The Epeira's skill is unaffected by age in any fundamental way; as the young worked, so do the elderly, wealthier with an additional year of experience.

An Epeira is sitting still on her suspension rope after weaving her web.
