The Human Spider are the descendants of experiments done in Australia. These experiments were in an attempt to produce human spider hybrids that could be used for war. The results were much smaller than the researchers wanted, eventually the facility was abandoned. Human Spiders are the only recorded example of an eusocial spider species. A queen will find a proper location to spin a starter nest and start laying eggs. Once the eggs hatch the workers help expand the nest and go out to hunt insects. They hunting in groups using their front limbs to grip the insect, inject with venom from their fangs, and wrap them up to carry to the nest. The queens are an inch in length while the workers are only half an inch. The face on the abdomen provides both a deterant from attack and to distract from the more vunerable torso. Nests can contain up to 100 individual workers. These social spiders use a large combination of gestures and minor expressions to communicate with each other.

Complete! Barbie meet Goya. Goya meet Barbie. Two great tastes that taste great together. More pics in tweets below. I was debating giving her a large abdomen with a few spare heads, but decided to keep her as is: #barbiesculpture #goya #spidercreature https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrtY7KpCGo/?igshid=foo9k73uhf2i
