  Now, a study of orb spiders (Trichonephila clavipes) in space has revealed that these smart arachnids can orientate themselves with light when there is no gravity to tell them which way is ‘up’.

  So you’re telling me they are already adapted to space, a place where they wouldn’t be size-constrained by gravity…

    Pretty sure their size-constraint isn’t gravity anyways, it’s oxygen. Assuming arachnids ‘breathe’ like insects, anyways

      Yeah you are probably right. i vaguely remember giant dragonflies in that Earth age with more oxygen.

      I’ll burn the script then… Although a space station with broken scrubbers…
