John Whitfield

Nature, 1999, vol. 398, issue 6726, 369-369

Abstract: Social interaction in spiders often doesn't get much past cannibalism. But a newly discovered species in the Philippines shows both extensive parental care and a dietary specialization on other species of spider. It catches its agile, dangerous prey in a net of sticky spit.
