Vegetarian Spider "Bagheera kiplingi"

The vegetarian spider recently discovered, Bagheera kiplingi, made headlines days ago because of its tendency to eat plant leaves and not bugs.

However, more has been unearthed about this creature who’s carbon footprint is lowered not only by eating plants, but also by its choice to construct its home of eco friendly sustainable web material.

Bagheera kiplingi is quite the liberal.

From The Daily Mash:

“When we first came across it, it seemed to be hosting a poorly-attended seminar about women’s rights and press freedom in the former Yugoslavia.

“We then tried poking it with a stick to get it angry but it just presented us with a tiny cup of camomile tea and gave us some literature about Darfur.”

Of course, this is only one report. Others state the vegetarian spider is just off meat for awhile. Maybe it’s trying to cleanse.

The world’s first discovered vegetarian spider, Bagheera kiplingi, who we’ll call B.K., has been making headlines for bypassing the bug deli and heading straight for the leaf salad bar.

“This is really the first spider known to specifically ‘hunt’ plants; it is also the first known to go after plants as a primary food source,” said study researcher Christopher Meehan of Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

But before we get too excited, it should be noted that B.K. “cheats” from time to time.

Although its primary diet is plants, the Central American spider will occasionally eat ant larvae.
