spider metabolism is efficient but spiders may know the occasional trouble with foreign intestinal flora.
That must be tragic. I realize this isn't quite biologically correct, but I picture a Spider helplessly dribbling silk and getting hopelessly tangled while her egg-sisters gather nearby, unable to contain jeweled giggles at her misfortune. :)
(Now I imagine Asteroid Spiders being stolen and used as happy engineer servitors for someone else's grand space-construction plans. The Lunarian space catapult, to gently drop care packages down to the confused inhabitants of old Earth, wrapped in entry coccoons of the finest starsilk, flung along rails of the infinitely complex molecules spun by Spider guts...)
What an excellent idea! By all means let's send some foreign aid and benign memetic weaponry to those poor benighted Earthers. The state of their porn industry alone... *shudder* And all the better if we can use wibble-locked Spiders to do it. :)
