A Spider with a Taste for the Salad Bar

Spiders get blamed for all kinds of bites because whether they are the culprits or not; everyone knows they will bite you because they like to eat meat.

Not all spiders.

A researcher in Costa Rica found a veggie-loving spider living on an acacia tree. It's a hairy, ugly little critter. I don't know if it bites for protection, but it certainly won't bite you because it's hungry.

I guess that's good news.
