Mr. G




Seems that another spider called Mr.G. fallowed an ant and come to my farm. This is really a joke regarding the Google spider that indexed my page. I didn't expect it so soon. My other blog that has a lot more informations regarding a lot of thinks like how to avoid phishing emails was not indexed yet. I don't know that this is not related to spider farms but I started this blog because of the joke regarding the Search Engine Optimization. In SEO the term "Feed the Spiders" mens put content to the page so the crawlers have what to crawl. And you can see I will name my spiders with Search Engine names as a joke. Now the problem is that I don't have any spider that looks like Google. I really wander how Mr.G. should look like. I don't think I will find a very big spider to name it Mr.G. What I was think about is to find a Portia spider to name it Mr.G. because Portia is a smart spider which feeds on other spiders. Portia preys on just about every kind of web-building spider, if it is from 10% up to double its own size.

It is a cryptic spider and an aggressive mimic, meaning that it imitates something its intended victim finds harmless or even attractive. The mimicry is of two kinds: first, it resembles a fragment of litter detritus. This is a camouflage against other jumping spiders, that have good vision. This way, it can get very close and kill the other spider. Second, it shows a kind of behavioral mimicry: Portia enters a spider's web and creeps up on its victim almost imperceptibly, though it moves quickly when the wind blows. It then plucks the web to imitate a captured insect (much like the Pirate spider). Then, when the resident spider approaches, Portia lunges in for the kill. So is the big bad spider of the spider world. Is kind of creepy that a spider eats it on kind, but this is life.

Also like you can see it is good to pretend that is somebody else. Also it is known that Mr.G. use suspect techniques to detect cloaking so I guess is doing something like that ... just pretend is an normal user. It has a god vision because is first render the page before crawling so it can detect hidden elements.

So the general idea ... the smartest spider around is Portia, and because we know that Mr.G. is the smartest and the only one able to take all kind of other spiders down....

The problem is that is not so simple to find a Portia around here so if someone can send me one I will be very happy, and I will take good care of it. I have a lot of house spiders to sacrifice for Portia.


Doing well.

My friends are doing pretty well .... except for one of them that my mother kill it accidentally. Poor spider, crushed to death ... horrible. I made them some pictures, but my camera is not god enough and don't want to focus... I will bring some more lights for the next photo.
