The Life Of The Spider

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 printers apprentice in a cellar. As March draws to a close the young peoples 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 mans 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 Epeiras 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.
