Just wondering if there have been any experiments done to see what webs would be like made with inebriated spiders ?...or spiders under the influence of narcotics !! (not that I condone hurting spiders cos I luff eh)


.....can't think of any reasons why there would have been studies to look into this but then it is Friday night and I wanted to ask !!

I'm sure I have seen something about this on the forum before, but I wont search for it right now.  In the meantime:

I can't believe that they gave spiders LSD !!....I think the spider made an admirable effort too !!...and the caffeine one ?...Oh my !!!...next time they should try de-caf !!
