Chapter 1786: Magnificent Peacock Spider
Chapter 1786 The Magnificent Peacock Spider
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘How do I know. We will know the result after watching it for a while. '
So, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei watched this big prehistoric monster fight there. In the beginning, there was no winner or loser. After all, both big monsters are one of the five poisons. In terms of body shape, it is also comparable. So, these two big monsters started a fierce battle in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei.
At first, the big centipede seemed to have the upper hand. After all, it is not an ordinary centipede, it is an ancient centipede that has lived for tens of thousands of years. Although this big scorpion is also a prehistoric giant scorpion. But its age is definitely not as old as this big centipede.
This big centipede not only has powerful fangs, it also has two long tail whips. These two whips are also very powerful.
It's just that this big scorpion is not easy to mess with. It has a pair of large claws, which are also very powerful. It can use this pair of big pincers to deal with this big centipede.
So, the two big monsters fought again in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. Although the two monsters have their own characteristics. But both of them were injured. Especially this big scorpion, which directly had a leg bitten off by this big centipede. Although scorpions have eight legs, it doesn't matter if one is missing.
But when this big scorpion lost a leg, it felt inconvenient to move around. In this case, it slowly gained the upper hand. And this big centipede not only has a pair of sharp fangs. It also has six wings and can fly into the sky.
In this way, when the big centipede is fighting, it can fly into the sky, and then use a condescending posture to deal with the big scorpion.
In this way, this big scorpion is obviously a bit difficult to parry. But it is a powerful big scorpion after all. Even if it has a broken leg, it has no advantage in attacking. But this big scorpion also has a long tail. There is also a curved poison needle on the tip of the tail.
This big scorpion is now continuing to fight with this big centipede. Although it is at a disadvantage. But it didn't run away. Instead, he used his own poisonous needle to stab the big centipede flying in the air.
The big centipede kept attacking the big scorpion in a condescending posture.
At the moment, the two big monsters are fighting for each other, and they will not give in to each other. The two big monsters fought together again.
At first, it seemed that people felt that the big scorpion was about to lose. But when this big scorpion used its poisonous needle, it became more powerful. After all, this big centipede also seems to know the power of this big scorpion's poisonous needle.
After all, for such a huge prehistoric giant scorpion, its poison needle is of course very powerful. This curved poisonous needle alone is twenty centimeters long. If this curved poisonous needle pierces the body of this big centipede. That will definitely make this big centipede poisoned and fall to the ground.
It's just that this big centipede also has a layer of armor on its body. It is also impossible for the poisonous needle of this big scorpion to pierce the armor of this big centipede.
But there are some small gaps at the junction of the armor on this big centipede. These small gaps can be some weak links. If the poisonous needle of this big scorpion hits these parts, it will definitely hurt this big centipede.
So, this big centipede also attacked this big scorpion very carefully. And this big scorpion also wanted to attack the weak link of this big centipede with a poisonous needle. But this big centipede can fly into the air. In this way, this big scorpion has no way to attack the weak link of this big centipede.
So, these two big monsters fought in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei. The two big monsters fought back and forth, and it seemed that there was no winner. I don't know who can beat whom.
When Zhao Zhongyao saw the situation, he looked at Feifei and said, 'Let's get out of here! Since these two big monsters are fighting inextricably, we should find a way to get out of here and hurry to the place where the big rock is! '
Zhao Zhongyao felt that now was their chance to escape. They can leave these two big monsters now and go to that big rock. After all, there was the amethyst gem they needed on that big rock.
'Okay, then I'll get out of here quickly! ’ Feifei also feels that this is an opportunity. They can now get out of here and go to the place where the big rock is.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei down from the big rock again. The two of them hurried forward. And these two big monsters didn't care about Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei at all. After all, the two of them are still fighting inextricably.
Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei and continued to walk forward. They walked forward for a further distance, and came to a place full of strange rocks. And in front there are two huge stones with a gap in the middle. Probably can let a person pass.
These two boulders are like two gates, separating this place from the place behind the boulders. It was as if there was a very special place behind those two boulders.
When Zhao Zhongyao saw this gap, he thought, if he and Feifei walked through this gap now. Would it be safer there? Because it feels that it is impossible for that big scorpion to pass through this stone crevice that can only accommodate one person.
However, that big centipede has nothing to do. Although in terms of body shape, that big centipede is about the same as that big scorpion. That big centipede is unlikely to pass through the middle of this stone crevice
go.
But that big centipede can fly. Of course it can fly over the top of these two boulders.
But Zhao Zhongyao thought, it doesn't matter whether the big centipede can fly over the two boulders now. He and Feifei wanted to quickly get behind this boulder. After all, if the two of them wanted to get to that boulder, they also had to pass between the two rocks.
So Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked up to the two stone cracks. They just glanced inside, feeling that it was very empty inside, and they didn't know what was inside.
'Dad, are we going to go in there now? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked.
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, 'Of course, if we don't go through this place, how can we get to that huge rock. '
'Okay then, let's go in and have a look. ’ After Feifei listened to his father’s words, he entered into this crevice first.
This is a stone gap five or six meters long, and it is a special terrain like a natural stone gate formed by two huge stones next to each other.
After flying in. Zhao Zhongyao followed in. The two walked along the stone crack and walked inside.
Soon, Feifei walked into the stone forest. When he entered behind these two boulders, he had just glanced at the scene behind him, and he couldn't help being surprised again. Immediately retreated into the crevice of the stone.
Zhao Zhongyao also surprised Feifei, he immediately looked at Feifei and asked, 'Feifei, what are you doing! What's your name and what's in it. '
At this moment, Feifei pointed to the inside and said, 'Dad, there are many big spiders inside, we seem to have entered a spider's nest. '
Zhao Zhongyao was stunned for a moment after hearing Feifei's words. However, he still couldn't believe it. How could there be a spider's nest in this place!
'Come here and let me see. '
Zhao Zhongyao asked Feifei to go behind him, he squeezed past Feifei, and then took a look inside. When he saw this, he was startled. Because it sees inside, there are really a lot of big spiders.
These spiders are about the size of the mouth of a bowl. And, each of them weaves a large net. These large nets are just on the side of some boulders. And these big spiders lie in the middle of the web.
Why did Feifei see many such big spiders at a glance. It's because these big spiders are really conspicuous. They have peacock-like colors on their bodies, which look weird and beautiful.
'Dad, are there a lot of big spiders in it? What kind of spiders are these, how can they be so gorgeous! ’ Feifei looked at his father and asked.
Looking at these weird and beautiful big spiders in front of him, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said,'This kind of spider should be a very rare peacock spider. '
'What a peacock spider! ’ When Feifei heard his father say this, he was very surprised. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to compare a beautiful bird like a peacock with an ugly spider.
'Yes, this should be a very rare peacock spider. Zhao Zhongyao said so.
'Then can you tell me the story of this spider. Such a beautiful spider, will there be some beautiful stories. ’ Feifei looked at his father and said.
'Okay, then I will tell you some stories about this spider! ' Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while, and then began to talk.
The peacock spider is a member of the genus Peacock Spider in the family of jumping spiders, which only grows in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. Its size is very small, with a body diameter of only 5 mm. The reason why it is named "peacock" is because the male peacock spider has the bright color of peacock feathers. In addition to having the same bright colors as peacocks, the most similar thing between peacock spiders and peacocks is that they both "open their tails".
But this is the patent of male peacock spiders. They will use this stunt to find their "girlfriends." Peacock jumping spiders first attracted the attention of the scientific community in 1878.
In 1901, it was classified as Jumping Spider, and later in 1987, the genus Jumping Spider was established, also known as Peacock Jumping Spider. There are more than a dozen species in this genus, and new species are still being discovered. Known as "the coquettish spider ever," male peacock spiders tend to be aggressive. Use its bright colors and stripes to attract the opposite sex and find girlfriends.
In order to be able to find a mating partner, male Kong Cui spiders will deliberately "scratch their heads" in front of female spiders. Showing off its beautiful belly, it sways from side to side like a peacock spreading its tail.
Peacock spiders are a type of jumping spider, they are very small, only about 5 mm in size. It will open its tail like a peacock, and its characteristics are more similar to peacocks. It is only males who have this beautiful "screen", and it will only open its tail during courtship and mating.
Because it is very small, it is difficult to see the opening screen with the naked eye, and you need to use a magnifying tool. These colors are mainly concentrated on its abdomen, which is composed of bright colors such as red, orange, blue, green, etc. There are also some stripes distributed among them, forming almost symmetrical patterns. Some patterns even resemble human facial features, which is very peculiar.
Male peacock spiders tend to use their bright colors and stripes to attract females. In order to find a mating partner, the male attracts females by shaking and vibrating his iridescent abdomen, showing off his beautiful abdomen, and constantly shaking from side to side, just like a peacock Just like opening the screen. There are more than 50 known species of peacock spiders, the males of which are known for their bright colors and graceful mating dances.
Scientists have discovered an eye-catching species of orange peacock spider in grasslands in Australia's western NSW region. Although the newly discovered protagonist is only 3 millimeters in size, the Australian Ke
Scientists are still eager to share this discovery with the world.
Like their kin, female peacock spiders are dull in color, while males are brightly colored, and the newly discovered males are bright orange with tinges of purple. Entomologists call these peacock spiders small birds of paradise.
The peacock spider is a small jumping spider endemic to Australia. Their unique courtship has attracted a lot of attention over the past few years, with brightly colored male spiders "dancing" to attract females. In 2005, only 8 species of peacock spiders were recorded in Australia, but after the efforts of scientists and multiple project teams, Australia now has at least 60 species of peacock spiders.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei, and told the story he knew about this peacock spider. After hearing this, Feifei felt that this little animal was really amazing. On this Mercury, there are actually giant spiders that look the same as the peacock spiders on Earth.
'Dad, are these peacock spiders powerful? Will they attack us? ’ Feifei looked at those colorful big spiders, but she was still a little scared.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the big spiders and said, 'Feifei, don't be afraid. They are no more than the size of a bowl. We are adults, or two grown men, can we be afraid of these spiders on the mouth of the bowl! '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei felt a little embarrassed. So, he hurriedly said, ‘Dad, I’m afraid that this kind of spider might be poisonous! After all, Zhao is a beautiful animal, the more likely it is poisonous! '
