This little orbweaver was just sitting innocently in her web, and I don’t know how they do it.
The thing is, when they’re on that web and the wind is blowing, they’re just vibrating all over the place. You’d think they’d be hopelessly motion-sick.

I couldn’t stand it so I let her take a break from the gale on my finger.

Don’t worry, I returned her to the same branch.


I’d imagine they lack our vestibular system and are adapted to chilling on their webs riding out rough winds?
