this video has such and ethereal aura to it like… it feels like a delicate experience as if one slip of the camera persons phone and it would have been lost to the mirroring world below

I’m not someone who believes in ghosts, but I was sitting in my room, alone and in the dark, and I heard the strings of my violin being softly plucked.
My violin is hanging on the wall several feet away.
So I gathered my courage, grabbed my phone, and used the camera light to investigate.
And found this.
A goddamn spider was playing my violin. Not even joking. The little shit.
I think I’d have preferred a ghost….
So anyway…. *tiny incoherent cough exhumes from spider* Here’s Wonderwall.
I hesitated before posting, but I bet I know what’s going on here. The plucking was pretty rhythmic, right?
Male spiders pluck the webs of female spiders in a pattern to determine if the female is interested.
That spider was trying to mate with your violin…
Ahh so it’s a boy(I just assume every insect I see is a girl) that’s such a cute mating ritual!
He just wants love!
The behavior would indicate that it is a male. Only females weave webs. Male spiders have to be careful not to be mistaken for prey and eaten, so they pluck the web. Poor thing didn’t exactly get any this time!
Poor spider thinking “Damn this web was made by a strong spider, a real awesome spider, can I possibly get with this boss ass spider??”
poor little hyperion, dreaming of the moon
I love and support him in his musical endeavours
This is also cool because scientists actually managed to make violin strings out of thousands of strands of spiders silk.
25th Century is the brainchild of Lucas Ighile and Ayla El-Moussa. It is the medium through which they interpret space and display their explorations in time travel, photography, music, film, and magic. As the name suggests their vision is anchored in the perpetual future, connecting the dots and pursuing an ever changing and evolving form of human expression…Creating works of art trying to put a ding in the canvas we call the universe.
