RE: Snake-Eating Spiders, and One Vegetarian

This is epic! I've seen several videos and photos of button spiders chowing down on small snakes, like mole snakes, but not of anything larger or even highly venomous. But that just affirms why button spiders are the most awesome genus of spiders ever (L. geometricus being the most awesome but I'm biased because they're my favourite).

I had no idea about nectar-eating spoods, though. That is really uniquely amazing. Here I thought the wildest spider was another jumping spider, Toxeus magnus, for actually producing "milk" to feed her spiderlings with. Jumpers are just all-round weird.

Again, this is a great post and I'm so glad you're spreading the spider-gospel. 😋

Hello, and thank you for the great comment. Before writing this post I never heard of button spiders. I have to confess to not knowing a lot about spiders. That is exactly why reading and writing about them will be interesting.

A spider that feeds milk to her young. Wow! Thanks for that. No matter how old I get, I will never cease to be amazed by the wonder of the world around us, so much of it still undiscovered.

Thanks for your visit, and your encouragement.
