Now a web can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach spiders to aspire to make a huge web and we don’t teach roaches the same? We raise spiders to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of roaches. We teach spiders that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that roaches are. |

If it's Australian, you have to feed it with the correct food type.
