2. Funny – their eyes show more awareness than most college students’.

   Thanks Claudia!

   izlamo delenda est …

3. Left,second from the bottom.
   Izzat you Michelle?

4. My fave is the jumping spider (fourth from bottom right). Did you know with those two big main eyes they can see in color? And they have telescopic vision? Not only that, they’re smart. They’re also cannibals. Their favorite thing to eat is other spiders. And they can jump the scaled down length of three football fields. They’re the “Superman” of spiders.
   They’re my favorite spider.

   Thank you as always Claudia.

5. Look deep into my eyes…all 6 of them.

6. I would not want to be on the business end of that owl’s stare. Love the themes you come up with each week Claudia! 🙂

7. Deceiving how the shape of the eye opening can make the creature appear either ominous, friendly, or innocuous.

8. The eyes have it

9. Notice the eyes of the “predators” are on the front of the animals face, while those of the “prey” are on the sides of the head.
   The predators need both in front to create stereoscopic vision in order to get the depth perception necessary to stalk and ambush. The prey need to see 360 degrees all the time in order to always see the predators.
   Well, except for the alligator…

10. @Sine, My state, SC is the only state with an official state spider, no, not Lindsey.

11. bayouwulf,

    By your Battle Flag icon, it’s no wonder you pick on the coons

12. Jethro: And the spider which is both predator and prey has eyes in the front, sides and back of its head.

13. Spiders. My sister nearly passed out whenever she saw a wolf spider in her room. Poor thing … the spider!

    I used to feed mosquitoes (after I slapped them for trying to drill into my flesh!) to them. They made funnel webs and I’d drop the mostly dead mosquito on the entrance and watch as the spider came out and dragged it into its lair.

    I was a weird kid. Nothing’s changed!

14. Claudia: I used to do that with ants. My cousins and I would look around for ants and small bugs to drop into the sheet webs spun by the grass spiders that lived in my grandmother’s yew bushes.
    I’ve wondered from time to time what the bugs thought of us humans. I mean here’s a bug happily going about its business and along comes a human that scoops it up and delivers it to face a terrible fate at the hands (legs?) of their worst enemy. It’s like we’re democrats or something.
