Still Waters Posted June 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2014 More spiders are learning how to catch and eat FISH, new research reveals. The eight-legged creatures lie in wait by garden ponds and lakes, reach in to grab passing fish then drag them off to devour them. And for those who think this is the behaviour of giant species in the tropics of Africa, Australia or America, it even applies to European varieties including some found in the UK. http://www.mirror.co...tch-eat-3723647 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblykiss Posted June 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2014 In a million years we could have spiders that live under water. Just a heads up, Arachnids started out as aquatic creatures. Look up giant sea scorpions sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Trinity Posted June 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Guess it is natural that the larger the specimen, the larger its food supply needs to be in order to satisfy its nutritional requirements. After all there is a bird eating spider too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
