In this episode of MicroFreaks we zoom in on golden orb weaver spiders. With web-building superpowers and neurotoxic venom, these arachnids entomb and liquefy their prey. Watch as we take a microscopic look at the adaptions that have secured them a spot as one of the most ancient spider families on the planet. <br /> <br />CREDITS: <br /> <br />Additional Footage: <br /> <br />Sigma <br /> <br />http://sigma-nature-vlog.blogspot.com/ <br /> <br />https://www.youtube.com/user/sigma1920 <br /> <br />Scanning Electron Microscope Photography: <br /> <br />Jennifer Alford <br />University of Lethbridge , ABCanada <br /> <br />Jillian Barnes <br />University of Lethbridge, AB Canada <br /> <br />Milan Madhavji <br />University of Lethbridge, ABCanada
