The spider's simple heart--made up of a muscular tube with an opening on both sides--pumps bloodlike fluid into the body cavity. That body cavity was surrounded by a thick layer of adipocere, a hard, grainy substance commonly known as grave wax. Close the body cavity by tying the legs together with a clean string or tucking the ends of the drumsticks into the hook or metal clamps that come with many birds nowadays. |
