Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" -a slogan used not only by Marxists, but by social spiders! Studies have shown that members of the species Stegodyphus dumicola social spider divide work according to an individual's size and body condition. Spiders with smaller bodies usually help with web building and maintenance, while larger spiders in better condition assist in capturing prey.

It’s either that or the local who’s just seen too much. 💀
