How the fuck does evolution begin to explain the process of spiders various techniques.

Some of them make sense.

Trapdoor spiders.

Tarantula.

Huntsman.

Then you got spiders which position themselves on a branch above their target, and slip down a rope Mission Impossible style.

Other spiders curl up into a ball and let the wind carry them to safety if something goes wrong.

And now this shit.
