All the drugs tested reduced web regularity except for small doses (0.1–0.3 μg) of LSD, which increased web regularity. [12] The drugs were administered by dissolving them in sugar water, and a drop of solution was touched to the spider's mouth. In some later studies, spiders were fed with drugged flies. [14]
The effects of some drugs can be measured by examining their effects on a spider's web-building. [26] In northeastern Nigeria, cow horn resonators in traditional xylophones often have holes covered with spider webs to create a buzzing sound. [27] Spider web strands have been used for crosshairs or reticles in telescopes. [28]
Sending spiders to space seems like a good idea (because, science), but arachnids apparently have their own notions about living in space. NASA researchers first sent spiders to space in the 1970 ...
Because web-building spiders such as Stegodyphus sarasinorum are quite sedentary organisms that take a long time to capture and consume prey, these spiders are a prime target of kleptoparasitic ants. Ants tend to destroy the web of S. sarasinorum and have been observed to feed on remains of prey in the web as well.
The post Scientists learned how spiders build webs using night vision and A.I. appeared first on BGR. Spiders can be exceptionally intriguing creatures. Whether we’re talking about megaspiders ...
Spiders spin silken webs to capture flies and other tiny prey. They’re also trapping a wealth of DNA from the surrounding environment, a hidden resource that Australian scientists said could be ...
Skylab 3 (also SL-3 and SLM-2 [2]) was the second crewed mission to the first American space station, Skylab.The mission began on July 28, 1973, with the launch of NASA astronauts Alan Bean, Owen Garriott, and Jack Lousma in the Apollo command and service module on the Saturn IB rocket, and lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes.

Tidarren sisyphoides is a species of spider in the family Theridiidae - the tangle web spiders. The male of this species is only ~1% the size of the female. At copulation, the male dies during insertion and remains attached to the female for more than two hours. However, the female does not eat her mate. The dead male is afterwards removed from ...
