Episode 440 – Social Spider: Tenthousandfold Cord

Deep in the jungle, where the foliage is thick and the dinner guests are welcome, lurks a tiny terror with a talent for turning the local shrubbery into its own personal buffet: Anelosimus eximius. These eight-legged architects don't believe in working alone, and their idea of a neighborhood watch involves a whole lot more silk than yours does. These little web developers have a corporate culture that would make a LinkedIn Rise and Grinder weep. But nature has shown time and time again that it's better to work together than alone like Anelosimus eximius here in Life, Death, and Taxonomy.
