The Orb Spider

Spiders are very creepy for many people. The legs, eyes, and the hairiness are not appealing, but spiders are very smart too. There is one spider, called the Orb Spider that fooled its predators and scientists! Until very recently, the Orb Spider, was a little mystery.

The Peruvian Orb Spider, knows that it is too small to beat its predators. To solve the problem, the little spider builds a huge spider out of insects, leaves and twigs. This spider is supposed to scare predators away. It fooled EVERYONE and EVERYTHING! A few months ago, scientists looked at the huge spider, and then noticed the smaller spider under it. This discovery led to the realization, that spiders are not only gross and hairy, but intelligent too.
