In this episode of MicroFreaks we zoom in on golden orb weaver spiders. With web-building superpowers and neurotoxic venom, these arachnids entomb and liquefy their prey. Watch as we take a microscopic look at the adaptions that have secured them a spot as one of the most ancient spider families on the planet.
