Hunting spiders can not only watch your every move, but they can feel those moves, and that of their prey, through the air. How their tiny specialized hairs do it has puzzled researchers for decades, but one team of scientists may have found a break. Their physics-focused work suggests each hair acts like a single, independent ear — not a network of ear parts that, together, turn a spider’s exoskeleton into one giant ear, as was previously assumed.

Unbelievable these tiny little devils. Whatever we forget on the kitchen table, these guys take it. Now we tried it with a dead gecko we found in garden and an observation camera. Looks like time is money for this little workers and Geico needs a new mascot to tell you how much money you can save with their insurance. With this spirit, we would get rich in no time. This is really crazy.

Cordyceps is a genus of ascomycete fungi (sac fungi) that includes about 400 described species. All Cordyceps species are endoparasitoids, mainly on insects and other arthropods (they are thus entomopathogenic fungi); a few are parasitic on other fungi. The best known species of the genus is Cordyceps sinensis, first recorded as yartsa gunbu in Tibet in the 15th Century. It is known as yartsa gumba in Nepal. The Latin etymology describes cord as club, ceps as head, and sinensis as Chinese. Cordyceps sinensis, known in English commonly as caterpillar fungus is considered a medicinal mushroom in oriental medicines, such as Traditional Chinese Medicines and Traditional Tibetan medicine.
