Today's interesting post has to do with spiders and snail shells.
There is a spider in Madagascar, that makes itself a home in the shell of a snail.
Doesn't matter what type of snail, these spiders, once they find an uninhabited shell, and after they determine it is their size, use the shell to protect itself from the rest of the world.
Using their silk strands, they hoist these shells up into bushes and trees, for further protection.
Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.
