Just a couple of shots which illustrate how restricted we humans are in our sense of vertical direction. In space there is no 'upside down', and neither is there for spiders, moths or hover flies (among many others).
An Enoplognatha ovata spider, upside down
An unidentified moth, upside down
Bats do it, but so it seems do hover flies. They sleep upside down
And one more from last night…
Cheeky is upside down 😉
Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM.

I suppose in all fairness humans do sleep on their backs from time to time. As do cats :cat:

2 Aug 2010Adele, well I needed to stretch the idea to include the foxes. It wrecked the argument, but art over science and all that 😉
