Scientists have discovered a spider that eats plants. This queer arachnid is a jumping spider that lives in Mexico among other places, and dines on nectar and the leaf tips of acacia shrubs. But wait, it gets weirder. Acacia plants are heavily thorned and viciously guarded by aggressive ants whose ferocity will drive off birds, rodents and caterpillars.
