Brachypelmas albopilosum... Eating a watermelon

[Hellblazer]

I really hope my vegan wife never sees anything like this. She'd be trying to get me to release my roach colony.

@AphonopelmaTX , do you have a link or something to those studies? That would be an interesting read.

I got my information from the book "Spider Ecophysiology" chapter titled Herbivory in Spiders published by Springer. The link is http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783642339882#otherversion=9783642339899

As you will see by following the link, neither the book or chapter are free, but all chapters in the book have a free preview. You will have to buy at least the chapter to get the whole story on the subject and the bibliography. The whole chapter is really interesting although brief.
