Павук Cyclosa
http://xstyle.info
В амазонських джунглях був виявлений новий вид павука, який вміє створювати свою власну копію - скоріш за все, аби використовувати її як приманку. Вчені вважають, що новий вид павуків відноситься до сімейства Cyclosa. Ці павуки давно відомі своїми будівельними та скульпторськими талантами. Виявилося, що такі павуки здатні створити самих себе з усіма численними кінцівками. Вчені розповідають, що виявили павутину, на якій, здавалося, сидів мертвий павук розміром приблизно 2,5 см. І раптом цей мертвий павук почав рухатися. При найближчому розгляді павук виявився муляжем - хоч і досить майстерно зробленим. Але навіть це було далеко не найдивовижнішим. Вчені були шоковані, виявивши, що фальшивого павука приводив у рух павучок, який сидів трохи подалі набагато меншого розміру, та смикав за павутину як справжній ляльковод. Нічого подібного за павуками раніше помічено не було.
Objects of hope in times of darkness
As long as I can remember, my Baba had these strange straw mobiles hanging in her home. I think because they were made with drinking straws and blue and red yarn (or whatever colors she had on hand), I assumed it was a craft she came up with on her own.
Then a few years ago, my aunt told me that the “pavuk” is actually an ancient Ukrainian tradition. Using drinking straws and yarn was my Baba’s spin on the traditional handicraft, because actual straw was not readily accessible in Chicago.
The Pavuk (“spider”) would be hung in the home for the winter season. Out of the chaos of these random pieces of straw , they would cut and craft diamond shapes strung together to make a delicate hanging mobile. Some say the name comes from patterns like a spiderweb, others saw that the hanging mobiles themselves are like giant spiders. Either way, it's a wonderful name and tradition, since spiders are cherished in Ukrainian culture as messengers, harbingers of good fortune.
The pavuk would absorb the negative energies and then get burned on the Feast of the Epiphany. Some believed that they should be left hanging in the home to attract good luck for the family. Some moved it to the barn to bring fortune and health for the animals. Either way, the pavuk reminded the family of the bounty of the harvest through the cold winter days.
