In the wild, animals frequently use deceptive tactics to survive. For instance, some wasps turn spiders into "zombie" slaves to build intricate nests. Similarly, mouse-eared bats mimic hornet buzzes to avoid being preyed upon by owls. Now, a new study reveals that a crafty orb-weaver spider species has found a way to manipulate the mating signals of male fireflies to catch more prey.

abbeyg138달No offense but that's a lot at once. But it is very interesting!
isaac132348달this is crazy I never new spiders could do that!!!!- codereddie7778달I like Fireflies
- codereddie7778달I think they don't use there poison on humans but they do on there prey my opinion
girly_pop328달Wow spiders are sooo smart for doing this to catch prey and yet it does also cause stress just like some other people said and in the articles
naturelover12348달As averagedog said "male fireflies make one flash when a spider is nearby is partly due to stress." But I feel that the venom can cause this stress to make it less aware of danger. or I feel that the spider uses its legs to press against certain nerves causing the fireflies light to flash depending on how the spider wants it to.- naturelover12348달Mayme the Orb Weaver manipulates the fireflies behavior by pushing it certain ways to get a light pulse
- averagedog8달Could it be a regional behavior or perhaps a common one amongst the species? Also I suspect part of the reason the male fireflies make one flash when a spider is nearby is partly due to stress.
