Watch this video of an explanation of Pink's video FUNHOUSE and see what he says about the dark being soon to arrive on earth and take the throne(believed to be on the 21st)! He says it creates clones of itself just like this spider!

Just wondering...... What's the use?

A fly sees a web with a spider in it and thinks, well let's not fly into this web beause there is a spider in it, let's fly into a web without a spider!

Re: New Spider discovered that builds fake decoys of itself
That is freaking cool

A spider that builds elaborate, fake spiders and hangs them in its web has been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon.

Believed to be a new species in the genus Cyclosa, the arachnid crafts the larger spider from leaves, debris and dead insects. Though Cyclosa includes other sculpting arachnids, this is the first one observed to build a replica with multiple, spidery legs.

What is interesting is that the spider used bits of twig wrapped in silk webbing for the legs. That is the use of tools in order to protect itself, that's a higher level of intelligence.

Isn't it funny, most people think animals and insects are dumb- as if we are the most intelligent species there is. Yet we don't know crap about nature like these creatures do, that is the irony of it.

Would be more impressive if it clones itself rather than making a fake out of leaves and dead bugs.

I know I have read of S. American orb weavers as well that form groups of 4-6 female spiders to build and maintain the most gorgeous webs one could lay eyes upon.

The weavers work together to build expanses between trees that can reach diameters well over 10 feet.

Re: New Spider discovered that builds fake decoys of itself
This diminutive bug poses some sizable questions from an evolution point of view:

1- In which gene resides the conscience of a being or a creature?

2- Can a genetic mutation have an effect on the instinct or the conscience of a being?

Re: New Spider discovered that builds fake decoys of itself
I was thinking of my comment and among some of the possibilities the most obvious ones being
that it learned it's own likeness from observing either parent, siblings, or perhaps seeing other spiders of it's kind in their webs because they probably wouldn't live completely isolated form their own kind. Although once they evolved and natural selection enabled the best decoy builders to thrive and the bad artists to perish, it may have become ingrained in the genetics and be more of a natural inherited instinct.
Need a controled experiment to eliminate certain factors, like raising one in isolation so it doesn't see itself or it's own kind, to see if it can make the sculpture anyway naturally or it is a learned skill from some sort of imitation instinct.
And then teach it to survive in natural habitat and set it free after of course.

Becuase if it is lerning it`s image from the spiders around it, like making a picture of it`s neighbour in a web, then it isnt really building a decoy of itself at all, it`s making a sculpture of it`s comrade.

Re: New Spider discovered that builds fake decoys of itself
Recognizing what one looks like is a sign of sentient intelligence. Making a sculpture of yourself but bigger and more menacing is the behavior of someone with mental illness like a dictator who wants everyone to cower before them.
I think its a fair indicator that the mind of a spider can be far more vast than previously thought.

o.O did you even read the article? its a new species of the genus Cyclosa. the other spiders in the genus Cyclosa do not have this ability. that is Evolution.
 Quoting: Chris Hansen


Not to burst OP or anyone's bubble because this is really cool..

this is just in response to Chris' comment...spiders have been doing this..this particular species just took it a step further and made it more realistic..and the cyclosa's were part of the group that did this..according to 2009 article listed below.
