🕷️ Happy Halloween...⁠ ⁠ A study published in March 2017 in The Science of Nature said an estimated 400-800 million tons of prey are killed annually by the global spider community. To compare, the estimated mass of all adult humans on Earth is about 287 million tons.⁠ ⁠ This also means spiders eat as much meat as all 7 billion humans on Earth combined. The study said humans consume about 400 million tons of meat and fish each year.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #spider #spiders #science #biology #facts
