A vegetarian spider has been found in Central America- the first such spider out of 40 thousand species. It retains many hunting instincts, but uses them only to outwit the ants that guard flowers- its favorite food. It sometimes eats ant larvae, but even so, Bagheera kiplingi has a plant-based diet- a first for a spider.
