Giant Golden Orb Weaver (nephila pilipes)

Giant Golden Orb Weaver (nephila pilipes)_1

Pedipalps have chemical sensors, functioning as smell and taste detectors. They’re used to help spin webs and assist with feeding. They’re also used to transfer sperm.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, I guess.

About

This site features my photography. Starting as a hobby to see as many species as I could before they went extinct, it's become more.

I've learned that many zoos are no longer cages of desperation, but have become triage centers combating extinction. They work tirelessly, at little to no pay, to save the world the rest of us are actively destroying.
