Almost all species of spiders are predators who prey on species other animals, from insects to birds. Among the more than 40,000 species of spiders in the world, a spider that was discovered is probably the first species known to eat vegetation.
Eight-legged animals that kiplingi named Bagheera, life in Central America, especially Mexico and Costa Rica. Vegetarian spider that large body size of adult nails were preyed acacia leaf tip. “This is really the first spider known to prey on the plants. He also spider the first known plant makes the main prey,” says Christopher Meehan of Villanova University, Pennsylvania, United States who reported the study with other researchers in the journal Current Biology latest edition. He said nearly all the text books spider no one ever claimed there was a spider-eating plants. In obtaining sufficient food resources he helped guard the role of ants in his life also acacias. The problem with the control acacia ants, no other herbivores who dare approach. However, since ants also eat leaf tip, in addition to nectar, spiders have to do a special strategy. When hunting prey, spiders, ants should be avoided by using net guards to move up and down. The spider is also building a nest at the base of an old acacia leaves rarely traveled ants. In addition to the leaf tip prey, the spider was still others such as larvae prey on ants and nectar. When prey on ants they will pretend to be ants by zig-zag movements.
However, observations made using the video recording and chemical analysis showed the spider still get most of the food from plants. Mexico’s population earn 90 percent of food from plant tissue and the remaining ant larvae, nectar, and others. While in Costa Rica’s population earn 60 percent of food from the acacia leaves.
