(I shrunk this pic so the squeamish wouldn't faint ;^))
That’s weird!!
I don’t like spiders but that poor thing is going to starve to death while that girl amuses herself.
Poor Spider, trapped in the Twilight Zone!
It may be a trick, but I don’t think it’s being faked.
I sure don’t know how to explain the phenomenon, do you?
I’ll bet someone at Google recognizes this feature.
Infrared or some invisable-to-humans lightwave used to focus the phone camera?
Probably seeing the camera’s laser range finder that is activated each time you tap the screen to focus.
I wonder what kind of phone ?
There are various ways to measure distance, including ultrasonic sound waves and infrared light. In the first case, sound waves are emitted from the camera, and by measuring the delay in their reflection, distance to the subject is calculated.
In the latter case, infrared light is usually used to triangulate the distance to the subject. Compact cameras as well as early video cameras, used this system.
A newer approach included in some consumer electronic devices, like mobile phones, is based on the time-of-flight principle, which involves shining a laser or LED light to the subject and calculating the distance based on the time it takes for the light to travel to the subject and back.
This technique is sometimes called laser autofocus, and is present in many mobile phone models from several vendors.
Arachnid abuse!
I know how that is. I hate having my picture taken too.
There’s not a shot of the camera phone being tapped at the same time that the spider is moving in the jar. I.e., a shot with both the phone and the spider in the jar. This is a trick.
Did anyone stop to think that the phone is likely made in China and that it’s a freedom-loving spider? /s
No one can fool me, that is a “vaccinated” spider!!!
That;s not a spider, it is the miniature version of the camel spider . Can’t remember the name, something like sun(~something). Lots in Az. and California. Some in Tx too.
All God’s little creatures. They are supposed to have a reason for being, i guess.
