Spiders Feasting On Ants...Head First??

Lately, spiders have been feasting on Ants head first. A spider that has an Ant diet is picky, but based on there nutrion value only certain body parts. Research shows that "special" predators are relying on one type of food source considering there appitite has evolved from what they get out of meal.

Spiders that eat ants are usually the healthiest because Ants have a massive ammount of protein in there bodies. Scientists collected dozens of Zodarion Rubidum, an Ant eating spider species found in Europe and the United States that has a light orange head and legs. These spiders attack ants and stick them hardcore venom that paralyzes the weaker link in minutes.
