I read a blog called spiderblog. I could not comment it, but if I could I would have left this comment:
spiderblog: I really enjoyed your blog on spiders. I liked the blog on leaf curler spiders because it was very interesting. I used to think spiders were boring, but I think you’ve changed my mind. I considered a blog on monkeys, but I figured since I knew enough about them, I wanted to try something else. Spiders were the first thing that popped into my head, so i picked that. I learned about leaf-curler spiders which was very interesting. I don’t usually like spiders, but I liked that particular blog.
The leaf curling spider (phonognatha graeffei), Family Tetragnathidae) is ubiquitous in the Sydney area. They’re everywhere, and you can easily pick them out in the undergrowth by their pretty distinctive webs. They build a typical orb web but with a twist- literally. On the upper part of the web, you can usually see a dried leaf that’s been curled in to a retreat, and the spider usually pokes its legs outside the leaf

the quote from spiderblog’s blog is really interesting to me and it made me want to read his whole post on them. It was the most important paragraph on the blog
