farmer in southern part of China was removing a small water dam in his crop field, when he saw this after a few digs into the mud.
It shows some strange pattern of engravings, and resembles type of ancient coins
So he pulled it out.... W...T... F....!!!!

So did he accidentally cut off the end half of its abdomen or is it supposed to look like that?

Mmmm an Oreo! I love Oreos!

I would have fertilized most of that field in about three seconds.

They use their fancy butts as doors to stop critters and Jehova's Witnesses from entering their burrow.

jitspoe

Wtf is wrong with her

WTF! Y?!
callmethelizardqueen
That is horrible! I dropped my phone from the shaking! WTF???
cheesyblasters
IIRC, that's being played in reverse.
YarTheBug
So the spider walks backwards into her mouth?
cheesyblasters
Good point. The reversed one did the rounds a while back and I was obviously so upset by it that my brain gave up.
feedmeyoursins
cool fact: spider blood is blue due to the presence of haemocyanin
PolarHailStorm
Cool Fact #2: Spiders have lungs
Peptido
Book lungs eh?
StarchLord
I figured it was because they're FUCKING MONSTERS.
Peptido
Also horseshoe crabs
mudmann1012
Their blood is also one of the most expensive liquids on the planet.
SirusKing
Their blood contains horseshoe crabs? wtf? How do they fit?
ImmaculateDegenerate
I too watched Jeopardy last night.
Guardlax13
Yesssss!
feedmeyoursins
guilty
fulminatrix
Same. Personally, I don't think they should've told them the color was due to hemocyanin since that gives it away: cyan.
LogShmitty
Found the nerds ⬆
RocketWookie
I thought it was because blue blood is nickel based rather than iron based.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Copper.
feedmeyoursins
copper based, which i would think would be green, but color is weird i guess.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Copper. Its blue to blue green.
Peptido
Just look at copper chloride.
jazzybear
The colour is dependent on the oxidation state.
callmethelizardqueen
Look at turquoise- formed near copper deposits.
lnsaneWolf
But why? Really, Why? What's the purpose of that?
lnsaneWolf
I did some digging ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) : in fact that spider use his abdomen as a sealed door when she's underground, that's why it's flat like that
DickMcStiffens
Imagine your whole life that your as is a screen door for your home.
lnsaneWolf
It's kinda awesome tbh
MyUsernameHasTheBestWords

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO. I take that as a yes though, I think, not really sure what's going on, I think I'm traumatized.
WhiskeyOnMyLips
They are burrowing spiders, and when they feel threatened they will use their flat butt to close the hole to their burrow
