For this reason pholcids have sometimes been called "vibrating spiders", although they are not the only species to exhibit this behaviour. Doing so might make it difficult for a predator to see exactly where the spider is, may be intended to signal an assumed rival to leave, or may increase the chances of capturing insects that have just brushed their web and are still hovering nearby .[1] If the spider continues to feel harassed it will retreat into a corner or drop from its web and escape."
Granted, your chair is not a web... I assume... but it says under threat, it'll vibrate, and that it's not the only species to do that... sooooo... there ya go.
You guys are so bad. :devil:Quote:
