Would you rather spend time studying the spider or the wasp? What is it about that species that intrigues you?


I think I would rather study the tarantula because tarantulas periodically shed their external skeletons in a process called molting. Eww! Their mild venom is weaker than a typical bee's. They also don't use a web to ensnare prey, though it may spin a trip wire to signal an alertwhen something approaches its burrow. Few natural enemies... which is a good thing!! But a wasp will paralyze a tarantula with its sting and lay its eggs on the spider's body. Eewww..
The thing that intreques me the most about them is that they can't get killed by many things but the ones that they can get killed by are wasped... interesting...
What do you think?

Erik Weihenmayer... Inspiration?

I consider Erik Weihenmayer is an inspiration because he shows that being blind or not, you still can do stuff instead of staying inside and not doing anything because they're blind. He said that he also had some advantages because he was blind. He didn't have to worry about the sun being in his eyes.
