Here we examine the predatory efficiency of araneae and contrast it to the predatory inefficiency of the scorpion.
The spider, is one of natures elite predators, capable of disabling creatures 5x their own mass. Their secret to their owed success is through the mystical properties of spider silk. While a scorpion will wait for nearby prey items to stumble into it's lair, the spider will use it's silk to cover a wider area for optimal pest control. And unlike the scorpion, most spiders are opportunistic and will gladly take down prey items on a near daily basis.
