Hey Chai, did you know that there’s a certain type of spider whose butt looks like a doorknob? Their adamant can look like other things as well, which is a bit scary but pretty damn interesting aswell. I think they’re called the doorknob spider?

The Cyclocosmia genus! Look at their silly Jumanji looking asses.

Hey there. So, as a personal side project, I might be making a fanmade region based on China, and so far I'm trying to flesh out the invertebrate side of things. Specifically, I'm going for ones that are native to or common there. So far, I have:

Silk moth (Bombyx mori and Antheraea pernyi) [Bug/Normal] When I was making these, I had no idea you did a Bug/Normal silk moth. Oops...

Chinese luna moth (Actias dubernardi) [Bug/Fairy]

Blue carpenter bee (Xylocopa caerulea) [Bug/Steel]

Chinese hourglass spider (Cyclocosmia ricketti) [Bug/Psychic]

Shanghai hairy crab (Eriocheir sinensis) [Water/Dark] Making this one pirate/thief themed due to being an invasive species. Also crab claws + pirate hook?

Hallucigenia [Rock/Psychic] A bit on the nose, but I'm fairly surprised the fossils were actually found on

Any ideas on what other arthropods (or invertebrates in general) I could add? Thanks.

Those are all fantastic ideas! My silk moth is actually bug/fairy, and either way you can't pass that up for a China-inspired region.

What comes to mind first for me would be a Chinese Mantis, possibly inspired by the mantis-style martial arts. You could even give it two forms based on northern vs southern style.

There's also the Chinese Golden Earth Tiger tarantula Cyriopagopus schmidti, a large burrowing species with gold and black coloration, tiger-like stripes on the abdomen, and a prominent white "beard". I read that it might have inspired the legend of the Tsuchigumo, which I used to make a Bug/Dragon pseudolegendary, but it's one of those concepts I'd love to see someone else's take on.

A caterpillar infected by Ophiocordyceps, though it might be cribbing too much from Paras and Parasect.

A polychaete worm (such as Phyllodoce citrina) stylized into a Chinese dragon.

A hammerhead worm (Bipalium spp)

Cyclocosmia ricketti is so weird but also all I can think is OREO BUTT

[onenicebugperday]

You know hourglass spiders? I love the ones that decided to use their little butts as a trap door to their burrows. I also like the cool pattern they got on them too. Function AND fashion.

Cyclocosmia spiders are wiiiiiiiiiiiiiild! Let’s admire one

The weirdest butt. We love that for them.

#401 The Black Widow

Some nights--more than I like, lately--I wake to the sound of the bedside clock. The room is dark, without detail, and it expands in such a way that it seems as if I'm outdoors, under an empty sky, or underground, in a cavern. I might be falling through space. I might be dreaming. I could be dead. Only the clock moves, its tick steady, unhurried. At these moments I have the most chilling understanding that time moves in only one direction. ALAN BURDICK, "The Secret Life of Time", The New Yorker, December 19, 2016 USA - FANTASY NOTE

Hourglass Facts

Cyclocosmia hourglass spider

Cyclocosmia is a genus of mygalomorph trapdoor spiders in the Halonoproctidae family, first described by Anton Ausserer in 1871.

Originally placed with the Ctenizidae, when the family split in 2018, this genus was placed with the Halonoproctidae as the type genus.

The name is derived from the Greek “kyklos” (κυκλος), meaning “circle”, and “kosmeo” (κοσμεω), meaning “to adorn”.

Current Music Obsessions: July 1  - 16, 2017

This is probably gonna be the last long list for a minute since I've been purging my watch later playlist. But hey, that only means I have more music for you guys to check out! Also I've been doing weekly Current Music Obsessions on my IG stories on Tuesdays, so definitely check those out to hear a quick snippet of about six songs a week! Anyways, let's get into the honorable mentions.

Gravesend - Bleed Me and Ocean Adna - Closure Mass Sky Raid - Closer Dim7 - Adorned (Insidiously) feat. Chela Rhea Harper Anastacia - Left Outside Alone Skies Collide - Glasshouse Stream of Passion & Amanda Somerville - Run Away (live) Ego Fall - Wind the Horn Adagio - The Ladder Vyces - Nocturnal Sorronia - Tear You Down Anthriel - Siren's Song The Spider Accomplice - Atmosphere The Hardkiss - Dance with Me We are the Catalyst - One More Day Tesseract - Eclipse Insatia - Memory of a Sapphire Orpheus Omega - Echoes Through Infinity The Charm the Fury - Weaponized Myrkur - Maneblot Snow White Blood - Shadows of Our Yesterdays Archspire - Involuntary Doppelganger Lions Den - Rise from Nothing Isis - Ghost Key Cellar Darling - The Hermit Bent Knee - Terror Bird

Not too too many of them this time. So here on the many obsessions.

1) Vetrar Draugurinn - Into the Black Light (Ghost Brigade cover)

This is one of those songs that is so simple, but for some reason you obsess over it. It's so hard for me to think of something to write about it besides the fact that I love it. I also listened to the original version by Ghost Brigade to compare them and I prefer this version, mainly because I love Marjan's voice so much.

2) Leprous - From the Flame

This is some proggy goodness right here. It's such a great song to chill to, but it's also pretty catchy. I kept finding myself singing the chorus randomly throughout the day. It's such a great track and the singer has such a pretty voice. I really need to listen to more from them.

3) Cellar Darling - Avalanche

This song is so simple, but is so catchy and makes such a huge impression on you with how it's executed. Such an amazing, beautiful and catchy track. I'm beyond hyped to listen to more from their debut album.

4) Orden Ogan - Fields of Sorrow

This is the first song that I've ever heard from them and I am in love. Such an amazing and beautiful power metal track. The chorus is so good and leaves such a huge impression. So good. I'm definitely gonna check out more from them.

5) Epica - The Solace System

This song is absolutely epic. It's a continuation of the story that is told in Universal Death Squad and I'm thinking that The Solace System EP is going to be just that and I can't wait. I know A LOT of people hate the video, but I really like it. I've always enjoyed videos that have gone in this sort of direction.

6) Cyclocosmia - Street Spirit (Radiohead cover)

This cover is absolutely gorgeous. It starts out rather simple, but then it starts to escalate and gets so dramatic and beautiful and just yes. So doomy and dark and lovely. I still prefer Stream of Passion's version, but this one is definitely a great take on it.

7) The Hardkiss - Organ

I recently got their new album, Perfection is a Lie, and this is the opening track and it rekindled my love for it. It's such a gorgeous and moving song. I kept finding myself gravitating to this song for whatever reason. It's so good.

8) Snow White Blood - Sheherazade

This band recently released their debut EP onto YouTube and it made me so happy. It's such an amazing EP and one of my favorites released last year. But this song is definitely my favorite off it. Gorgeous symphonic power metal with an arabian influence to it. So much yes.

Lullaby for the Dead

This is my second favorite song off Once Upon a Fearytale. It's such a gorgeous and dramatic track. The verses are so simple, then the chorus kicks in and just attacks your senses with how dramatic it is. In other words, it goes from 0 to 100 real quick and I absolutely love it.

9) Sevi - The Call

This band keeps releasing one amazing track after another. This one is a bit different from the others they've released, but in such a great way. It definitely sticks out and is absolutely lovely. Also it's about sirens, so that's another huge plus for me.

10) Nostalghia - Plastic Heart

I recently saw both the John Wick films, but when I heard this song in the second one, I instantly fell in love with it and had to know what it was. Come to find out that it's Nostalghia. This is so different from her usual dark ambient stuff. This track is so catchy and wonderful.

Coronation

This track is so beautiful. Them high notes. That's all that it took to get me hooked on it. That and the haunting atmosphere of this track. It's so lovely and wonderful. Definitely give it a listen.

11) Soltras - Empatheia

This was a project that Micky of End of the Dream fronted at one point. She shared this track on her YouTube channel and I immediately fell in love. It's so good and much heavier and proggy than End of the Dream and is so good. It's such a bummer that the project is longer active, but at least Micky is still active in the music scene.

12) Empyrean Throne - And None Shall Rise

Randomly discovered this band one day and I became obsessed with this track. The baritones sound absolutely amazing and haunting. If you're looking into finding a new death/black metal band, definitely give these guys a try.

13) Verite - Somewhere in Between

I discovered this artist through Facebook one day and decided to give the title track of their debut album a listen and I'm so glad I did. This track is so beautiful and catchy. I'm noticing that Facebook is recommending a lot of artists like this lately and I am very much on board with it.

14) Virus of Ideals - Into the Flames

I discovered this band through Twitter randomly one day and decided to give them a listen. I wasn't that impressed at first, but then their female singer popped in and immediately sent the song in a different direction. It took such a beautiful turn and I love it so much.

15) Cadence Calling - Post Mortem

I discovered these guys through Instagram thanks to them and/or one of their members liking a few of my posts and possibly even following me. I'm finding myself getting into metalcore again all thanks to bands like these guys. Such a great track and I'm definitely going to check out more from them.

16) Unleash the Archers - Cleanse the Bloodlines

This is a song that I rekindled my love for. It randomly popped up on my recommended videos on YouTube one day so I decided to listen to it since it had been a hot minute since I last did. It's so epic and is one of those songs that so easy to jam to. Definitely am excited to listen to Apex. THIS is how they are supposed to sound!

17) Exit Eden - Unfaithful (Rihanna cover)

This was my favorite song for about a week straight. I listened to it on repeat hours on end for nearly a week. I was already excited when I found out they were a symphonic metal super girl group fronted by Amanda Somerville, Clementine Delauney, Marina La Torraca and Anna Brunner, but I was not prepared for the epicness that was this cover. They're gonna be releasing a new single and video tomorrow and I cannot wait for it!

That's it for the first half of July! I wonder how many epic tracks are gonna make it in the next installment.

Cyclocosmia (Trapdoor Spider)

Also known as The Chinese Hourglass Spider, cyclocosmia latusicosta, are a type of trapdoor spider. They are ambush predators that patiently wait for their unaware victim to scurry past their lair before they strike and eat them as soon as they detect motion.

If threatened, they burrow themselves headfirst and back up plugging the hole with their abdomen. Their backside looks a lot like a coin and because of that they were often mistaken as coins by Chinese farmers who would come across them. They also resemble Aztec sun stones. Their bite is low risk (non-toxic) so if you ever pick one up, and it bites you, you should be fine.

Here are a variety of spider butts you could come across:

Cork-lid Trapdoor Spider (Cyclocosmia sp.) Photos by Nicky Bay

The cork-lid trapdoor spider has a highly sclerotised and abruptly truncated abdominal posterior, which is used as a plug to its burrow entrance. This prevents any effective attacks from predators such as wasps.
