Framed and Shot

This is a real spiderman, a Golden Silk Spider.  The name of the golden silk orb-weavers refers to t.he color of the spider silk, not the color of the spider itself.
The scientific name for spiders is “Arachnid”.  That name comes from an old Greek story. In this story, a girl named Arachne loved to weave. Her weaving was so beautiful and perfect that the goddess Athena got jealous. To punish Arachne, the goddess turned her into a spider. But Arachne still loved to weave, even though she was a spider. Today, all Arachnids, or spiders, weave silk. (Not all of them make webs though.) The word, “spider,” comes from the German word “spinner,” because spiders spin or weave silk. Beautiful story, right?

Dette er en skikkelig spiderman, kalt Golden Silk Spider. Navnet kommer fra tådene som skinner som silke i sollyset, og ikke fra fargen på edderkoppen.
Edderkopper har fått sitt latinske navn Arachnid fra en gammel gresk legende. En historie om en vakker pike aklt Arachne som elsket å veve. Hun lagde de mest fortryllende  veverier, så perfekte at Gudinnen Athena ble sjalu og skapte henne om til en edderkopp -men hun forstatte å veve, veve silke – ikke alle edderkopper lager nett, men historien er vakker -ikke sant?
