No, I am not referring to the internet, but to that wonderful web-creating form of life, spiders.
This New Scientist article demonstrates that a spider’s web is as much a part of its intelligence as, say, my computer is mine, except that it is also a sensory tool.
Intelligence? Yes. Spiders have been shown in the past to have complex cognitive lives. To quote from the introduction: “some arachnids possess hidden cognitive abilities rivalling those of mammals and birds, including foresight and planning, complex learning and even the capacity to be surprised.”
We have similar philosophy. I’m convinced that we share the same insticts for survival; however, the force is just too strong with some creatures, just like that 8 legged artist 😅😅

I am convinced all life is much the same. I wonder how a human would do on an intelligence test designed by a spider?
