Vegetarian Spider!

[slaneyder]

Researchers have found a rare spider that lives in South and Central America that, literally, is an herbivore. The reason this is so, so cool is that up until recently, it was commonly thought that spiders were physically incapable of living on plants as a primary food source.

I would hate spiders a lot less if they were all like this.

Me too!

But no spider can eat you, so what's the difference? The "vegetarian" spider can still defend itself with a bite :)

I must've been a fly in my former life. *shudder* I might learn to like veggie spiders.

Ahaha, I know it's not logical to not be as creeped out by "vegetarian" spiders, but then again, my fear of spiders has been irrational from the get go.
