Vegetarian Spider Gives Me Hope

By Renier Cronje
The recent discovery of a vegetarian spider, Bagheera kiplingi, has got scientists abuzz. This rare species of spider lives throughout Mexico and feeds on plants. I particularly enjoyed reading about this piece as it instills a sense of bewilderment within myself. Out of 40 000 species of spiders, all thought to be predators, there is the one exception. This discovery makes me feel like there is a whole undiscovered world out there-I may move on from Rhodes to discover something no one has yet; i may experience something no one lese has yet; I could be the exception!
