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.

    Spiders are so cool because they have eight legs and more parts to the body :)

            That picture of the spider with the orange stuff on it = Messy eater! I think that its pretty cool that we kids aren't the only ones who are told to eat our broccoli at dinner time! And, even better, we can give our green beans to the spiders in our house! But, then again, if your or your mother are afraid of spiders, I recommend you not do that. Of course, if you do, do not tell your mother that you did. ^-^ And if you have a dog then boom. Feed it to him. I can't do that though. I have a pet rabbit.
