Jumping spider Cosmophasis micarioides (left) and golden-tailed spiny ants (right) compete for floral nectar in Queensland, Australia (photo credit: Andrea Lim, James Cook University).

When one thinks of a spider, the image that comes to mind is the crafty arthropod feasting on an innocent insect it has lured into its web. It turns out that the arachnids have a much more sophisticated palate. In addition to relishing the occasional fish and frog, they also have a strong penchant for vegetables. At least, that's the conclusion reached by a team of zoologists from the USA, United Kingdom and Switzerland, after an extensive worldwide study of the eight-legged arthropods.
