Read that spiders eat 800 million tonnes of insects per year, keeping the balance in the world's natural ecosystem.:
New research has found that spiders chow through as much as 800 million tonnes of prey annually – but while that upsized serving might make some of us feel uncomfortable, scientists say these arachnids are actually performing an important civic duty.
More than 90 percent of the spider diet is made up of insects and insect-like springtails, and by devouring several hundred million tonnes of these tiny pests every year, researchers say spiders play an essential role in keeping natural ecosystems in check.
"Our calculations let us quantify for the first time on a global scale that spiders are major natural enemies of insects," says one of the researchers, biologist Martin Nyffeler, from the University of Basel in Switzerland.
"In concert with other insectivorous animals such as ants and birds, they help to reduce the population densities of insects significantly. Spiders thus make an essential contribution to maintaining the ecological balance of nature."

Nooooo you can't...... (not like that I like then too).
Ugh... I hate people who got a high position and doesn't know much about anything.
It's difficult to deal with them. Anyone here feel the same?

Saw/read this from Siliconera, nice Monster Hunter sand sculpture:
Over this weekend, Capcom collaborated with the government of the Tottori prefecture to create a giant sand sculpture based on Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
The Tottori sand sculpture shows off the Velkhana, Rathalos, Tigrex, as well as a Palico is surprisingly high detail, down to each individual scale. The reason why a sand sculpture was decided upon is because Tottori is famous for its sand dunes, the only dune system in Japan.
