Now this is interesting. I have linked to orbweaver silk socks before, but neurofibers?

The Tasmanian cave spider is also interesting. To protect its eggs from bacterial attack, it has a two-layered web around the egg case where the first layer is suspended within the second, a "thermos-like" structure which may protect the eggs from temperature changes and possible bacterial attack. The web also somehow resists bacterial and fungal attack (maybe a novel antibiotic can be gotten out of it! ) The spiders live extremely long (common for cave animals), apparently lasting decades, and the eggs likewise take large amounts of time (8-10 months) to hatch.

Well, I'm exhausted, so have a nice day!

I thought Masamune's antennae were an ovipositor for a moment. Compared with Muramasa's huge pedipalps (which are usually seen in males, females have smaller ones), that would actually make some sort of twisted sense.
