@SuzyCue72 Yes indeed, spiders are generally smarter than insects. Many of them can learn by experience and solve problems. The jumping spiders are considered the most intelligent of them all. They hear well and have excellent vision in full colour, and can make plans. They are curious by nature and love to study things, even humans. :smile:
Web-builders are most often nearly blind, though, but their sense of touch is great. If you drop a freshly killed fly on a web and the spider thinks it's just debris, you can carefully poke the fly to send vibrations through the web so the spider thinks it's alive. I have done that and it worked. :smiley:
I've had Steatoda bipunctata (harmless "false widows") cobweb spiders and they have sometimes left their webs to chase flightless fruitflies on the floor. But if the fly gets more than two inches away or stops moving, the spider just can't see it. :lol: Oh, and one time one of the flies walked on the floor and touched a strand of silk, and the spider reeled it in like it was a fish!
I had a big fly in my flat once, and when it buzzed by all three spiders ran out on their webs! It was so funny and cute! :lol:
