Spider for the Day
This guy (gal?) is tiny. We are looking at a patch of skin on my hand about a centimeter square. The body must be like a sixteenth of an inch long, if that. And this critter has a brain that enables it to walk using eight legs, see, well, maybe not well, but certainly see something, figure out where to go, recognize possible food, plan and execute attacks. Pretty amazing that you can get that much computing power in that small a package. And it runs on dead bugs.
