An ancient gene is crucial for the development of the distinctive waist that divides the spider body plan in two, according to a study published August 29 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Emily Setton from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, and colleagues. The spider body is divided into two sections, separated by a narrow waist. Compared to insects and crustaceans, relatively little is known about embryonic development in spiders, and the genes involved in the formation of the spider waist are poorly understood.

sorry for being absent dealing with a sick pet

also to any other reptile owners out there i have to ask a question?? do people not offer you sympathy over pet health issues or whatever else involving your pet because they dont feel reptiles are "real pets"? this also extends to any 'unusual' pet owners like bugs or something

My (could actually be canon) Miguel O'Hara Headcanon is...

Miguel is a huge fan of body horror movies. He has a bunch of holos of movies like The Thing, The Stuff, Slither, Tokyo Gore Police, Eraserhead etc. His favorite is The Fly (a movie he is canonically a fan of!) and anytime he tells anyone this they they give him a weird look until he rolls his eyes and admits that yes, he DOES in fact see the irony now.

Also, everyone is really creeped out that a guy who's job it is to muck around with human DNA is so fond of movies focused on horrifying things happening to the human body. Nobody wants to confront him about it though :P

[iobartach]

been thinking lately 👀 ;

of the idea that miguel is not using his full strength? like if i were to put an arbitrary figure against it, let's say he uses about 70% of his full potential, on average? maybe less? for reasons that may revolve around, or relate to... him being not so keen to lean into the more spidery aspects of his messed up existence? because he, perhaps, still wants to approach things with a human perspective?

this is on my mind so much

A couple of things I noticed from my last rewatch:

- when Neytiri fires the first shot when the kids are captured by the recoms in the forest, QUARITCH GOES STRAIGHT FOR SPIDER and reaches his hand out to SHOVE SPIDER DOWN OUT OF TJE LINE OF FIRE plz god help me

- I’ve always noticed this but haven’t really seen anybody talking about it - Spider totally has an Australian accent when he runs out of the shack saying “I’m just going to the village!”

- When spider is captured he is covered in mud from the fall down the bank, like, he is so dirty. But in the next shot of him throwing the chair around he is… clean. I thought this was probably just a continuity error BUT: spider doesn’t have either of his two armbands on in the interrogation scenes, which adds credence to my new theory that that he likely had a SJOWER at the rda before Quaritch talked to him/he went in the mind machine

- Lo’ak calls Quaritch vonvä when he shows him his fingers which the subtitles translate as ‘buttholes’, but wiki says can also mean ‘dickheads’ (I find this satisfying)

- the exopacks that Sec-Ops use are sleeker than the ones the humans at the Omatikaya stronghold have , there is a smaller, less obvious canister (which I GIESS must be for oxygen although that is disputed). The Cet-Ops masks and exopacks have the rda branding under the chin and also no visible signs of a canister in the exopack (their exopacks are even sleeker and fit into the backs of the lifejackets)

- the RDA takes Spiders knife off him when he is captured and we never see it again, which fair. BUT, for some reason Spider has his bow with him when they climb the mountains to get the Ikran 🤔 as if they kept his pokey little bow safe for him 🤔

- Lyle WAINFLEET. he is a great man. Clever, witty, tactical minded and LOYAL TO A FAULT. it was HIM who noticed that Kiri had four fingers, and thus was an actual bargaining chip. It was HIM who managed to scoop kiri out of the water when the rest of the kids had escaped, again, leading to Quaritch actually get some leverage back over jake. It was HIM who stayed behind in the bridge to babysit spider when Quaritch went out on the tulkun hunt. It was HIM who sounded so defeated when they thought Quaritch had fallen to his death… It was HIM that took Quaritch's tags from around the dead human's skeleton and kept them safe while Quaritch was not in the right frame of mind... I could go on. Lyle wainfleet has a crush on Quaritch and Quaritch knows it but ofc they NEVER speak about it , just get on with their lives x
