Effect of drugs on spiders. Computer artwork showing the effect of four drugs on the web construction of the garden spider (Araneus diadematus). Flies dosed with drugs (from left to right: marijuana,benzedrine,caffeine and chloral hydrate) were fed to garden spiders and their web construction monitored. Normal orb webs consists of radiating non-sticky thread and a sticky,spiral elastic hub (see Z430/524). Spiders affected by the stimulants benzedrine and caffeine produce erratic,misshapen webs,whereas spiders fed the marijuana and the sedative chloral hydrate failed to complete their webs.
