Spiders eat cheese


Big web in my backyard, orb spider I think. I was feeding the local magpies some cheese and decided to throw a cube in the web. I come back later and the spider is eating the cheese. I though maybe, at first, he was just trying to purge it from his web, nope. Motherfucker is eating it. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Did it web a cocoon around it? That's how they eat.

reply

Nah, it wasn't saving it for later. It was straight up nibbling.

Well if you're going to eat human food...cheese is a good place to start. Must be a french spider.

Lactose tolerant

Even the spiders are going vegetarian now!

Sorry, I'm not going to sacrifice any cheese to prove this one way or the other. 😉🤭

I respect that. I got cheese coming out the whazoo at my place though. The cheese I'm feeding birds and spiders is the government cheese of the household. Fit for consumption, but barely.

Interesting.

I quite dislike spiders, I find them shifty and somewhat threatening.

If I spot them in my house or garage I kill them immediately.

They get murdered in my woodpile, the tin shed and my little barn as well.

If they just stay in my gardens or out in the tree lines I leave them alone.

As long as they're not a dangerous species spiders are good to have in the house. They keep your house bug free.

That's surprising. I've always been fascinated by spiders and watch them every chance I get, but I never thought to see if they would eat human food.

reply

I never thought I'd see a spider eat cheese
