Positively Tarantula photos of the year and a top contender for subject
of the year
Just happened to read this yesterday, it started as a post about freezing
scorpions and their living through it and morphed into some post on Tarantula
hawk's, made me feel sorry for Tarantula's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantula_hawk
"The female tarantula hawk captures, stings, and paralyzes the spider,
then either drags her prey back into her own burrow or transports it to a
specially prepared nest, where a single egg is laid on the spider’s abdomen,
and the entrance is covered".
It is definitely one of the less technical threads but once you learn how
to use reddit (you scroll the most left entries for something that interest you)
there is some good stuff in there, mostly about scorpions.
