Guest OKAY i GOT TO GO. tem

Bugscope Team Annie!
12:39pm
Bugscope Team you can see here where the male spider patted a bunch of web right over the female's fangs so she couldn't bite him

Bugscope Team alexicon lazernomicon
Bugscope Team Casillas!
Bugscope Team Hi Cassillas, welcome back.
Bugscope Team This is the spider mouth, with something stuck between the chelicers
Bugscope Team the pair is called chelicerae
Bugscope Team Are you having any problems controlling the scope? We are hear to help. Is your internet having problems?
Bugscope Team yeah we are here to help
12:45pm
Bugscope Team we have the 'scope 'til 1:45 today our time...

Bugscope Team Annie see? I think this is a female spider with web over her chelicerae.
Bugscope Team So she wouldn't be doing any biting while Barry White was trying to get her in the mood.
Bugscope Team haha
Bugscope Team I bet that is exactly it. It has nothing ot do with the fact that spiders eat food covered in web
Bugscope Team Really that is what the boys have to do to try to keep from being a meal.
Bugscope Team Well they consume their own webs. So this was placed right where it was not do easy to get off.
Bugscope Team not so easy
Bugscope Team to get off
Bugscope Team please don't bite me okay babe?
