Arachnid has a Vesuvius moment.

Little change of pace here today.

Was out smashing up scrap cast aluminum for a future ingot casting run when I found this in my 'scrap box'. This is a sprue from one of my last casts.



Mrs Spider didn't have a good day is all I can say. All that is left of said spider is a cavity in the sprue and some carbon. Molten aluminum that is able to flow quick enough to catch a spider in mid breath is DAMNED HOT! As the spider found out.
(and for those that feel for 'little creatures', I can tell you she felt nothing. Her last thoughts were, "is it getting hot in here?" then FphiZZZT!)
