Title: Study during the 1960's
Post by: Myogoblin on March 16, 2007, 10:15:00 am

Sometime during the 60's a study was performed on spiders and the effects of drugs.

haha good one. Not good ending as the crackspiders bitch.

I actually saw a serious article about this a few years ago where you saw how messed up the web patterns became after giving a spider different drugs. Quite cool

I do recall something like that as well. Some form of wasp laying an egg within the spider and the actual chemical release at the correct time forced the spider to change it's web into its tomb. The egg then hatched and ate the spider and used the pre-made tomb as its cocoon to develop.

Parasites are just freaky!
