Spiders are top predators according to a research recently published in the journal Science of Nature. These arachnids feed on 400 to 800 million metric tons of insects each year.
Spiders can traverse long distances across water and in a new study researchers have explained the mechanism behind it. The study also notes what leads them to colonize at a rapid pace in new areas.
Using their silk, spiders can position their bodies to sail over the water and drop silk to slow down.
Millions of migrating spiders gave residents quite a shock and left the town covered in web or angel-hair.
Researchers have discovered a new lobster-like predator that gave rise to lobsters, spiders and butterflies. The newly identified species named Yawunik kootenayi was discovered from a 508-million-year-old fossil site.
