Spiders can form colonies in toxic sulfuric acid caves, use webs as gigantic artificial eardrums, and even dream. From their origin in the Jurassic Period all the way to the modern day, they’ve proved to be successful, adaptable predators across six continents and countless lifestyles. We’re going to cover the basic evolutionary history of spiders, highlighting some rockstar taxa from the fossil record and modern day, as well as dive into the physiological adaptations that have led to such an incredible and consistent track record. This is my case for why spiders are nature's favorite animals.
