Spiders have been spotted on the International space station, but the scientists say spiders in space aren’t new.

Spiders in your house may send you scurrying for a shoe but spiders in space are almost hypnotic, as they struggle to weave a symmetric web in zero gravity.

Scientists were curious to see how the spiders would react in weightlessness — would their webs be different and how would they eat and sleep.

These creatures are welcome guests, though one of them is missing at the moment.
Experiments with insects are an easy way for teachers across the country to get students involved in hands-on science.
