Bizzare, spider behaviour is basically all preprogrammed right?

Wow this is pretty awesome. Dare I say swarm intelligence at its finest?

That's the scariest thing I have seen in a while. Even though I consider myself an environmentalist I would seriously think about burning that forest to the ground the save humanity for being over-run by a race of super spiders who are obviously planning to enslave us.

Spiders are a man's friend. They are making this web to catch human-sized bugs.

Absolutely bizarre. Reminds me of birds hunkering down for a storm like they know something before humans do.

LOL at this quote:

"...It's a surprising level of cooperation (by the spiders), that even has insect experts scratching their heads."
