Spiders on Drugs


If you were give some a variety of different drugs to some spiders, what do you imagine that the effects on their web-spinning abilities would be?

Well, wonder no more. Luckily for us, Dr. Peter N. Witt did exactly that, and here are the results:

This web was built while the spider was under the influence of benzedrine (oh dear).







                   Caffeine(!)





Choral hydrate (sleeping tablets).






                                                                 LSD



 Cannabis














Mescaline
