I Just basically wrote an illustrated book on Spiders for Steemit and forgot people don't really like (hate) SPIDERS

in #steemit7 years ago

A tip from me..

79567321517 - monkey temple khao sok national park thailand_7.jpg

I recently wrote a very long post with some of my own collection of macro photos and lots of information about spiders... I even included spiders webs in various magical situations, some of my artwork with spiders in it and to finish off, a photo of spider street art.

I carefully labelled all the photos with EXIF data and made sure my markdown / punctuation & grammar was correct...

This all takes bags of time

I thought this post can't fail to garner some attention, it's got a winning combination of great imagery and imaginative writing.. all original

I FORGOT

people don't like spiders.. Be careful what you post. People might not like what you think is interesting.. just a tip from someone who spent hours on a post and was a bit deflated in his own naivety.

On the Bright side

It's on Steemits blockchain ledger, is searchable by google and will inevitable reach a kind of network immortality.. including the pictures.. that's actually really cool. In the 22nd Century people will telepathically think spiders and this will post will pop into their mind.. or something like that

so here's a baby monkey (Macaque) at the Monkey temple in Thailand near Khao Lak - Everyone loves a monkey.. a baby monkey !! If you read all the way to the bottom of this short post thinking what's with the monkey well in you.. feel free to reply with the smart ass code - SMARTYPANTS

I love spiders and all arthropods. I'm currently breeding 13 species of tarantula. Glad I saw this post. Upvoted and you've a got a new follower. Now I'm off to check out the article in question. 🌎❤️🕷

wow 13 species is a few handfuls of Tarantula.. my first project was to breed ladybirds aged 5 ! I since moved on and have raised giant land snails, a whole series of mantids, stick insects and my personal favourites the lasius niger colony.. where I observed unique tool making behaviour (probably for the first time ever) here's the link.. i eventually got in touch with a black ant professor in Belgium and she was going to try to repeat my observations but I don't know if she ever did.. here's a link on my very old blog !!

(small dudes rock).. my all time favourites were land hermit crabs !

I wrote a poem about spiders on another blog: http://eveisone.blogspot.com/search?q=can%27t+kill+a+miracle

Instinctively and after casual observation, spiders are miracles of nature in many ways surpassing humans. That post is why I'm following you in fact!

that's really good.. a poem about Spiders.. I've always tried to avoid harming spiders too ! I'm following you now. arachnophile

Oh yeah, there is one more I wrote about spiders faces, too. I was examining why I would be apprehensive to search out images of super close up spider faces. LOL http://eveisone.blogspot.com/search?q=spiders+face

Ok Ultraviolets.. I get it now.. I knew you would refer to ET in this poem. The reason you are scared of spiders is cos' somewhere in your past you encountered something otherworldly and your inner being was so shocked that you transferred the shock onto the humble spider. It's a common phenomenon.. It's the eyes, the long claw like limbs. I will send you a link to something I wrote which will resonate with you .. in the meantime, tell me this isn't cute !

Yes! You are correct and intuitive. Shocking, in that in rare cases an image does not fit into the coding of our human processing. This is a very cute spider! I do feel somewhere, there may be a spider who matches this otherworldly image, but I haven't seen it yet. I don't know which spider or when, but I cautiously prepare for the day when I see it. LOL

you've already seen it and it isn't a spider. but it does have the big eyes and long spidery limbs ! I'm sure.
