NATURE & GASTRONOMY

 

 

 

  maengmoom

 

Thailand

In Thailand, spiders are known as maengmoom, which could literally be translated as ‘eight-legged corner insects’.

 

Many species spin webs to capture insects as food, though some hunt for prey, yet all are able to produce silken threads from glands in their abdomen. This large wolf spider was spotted in Chiang Rai.
