Fish Eating Spiders "Widespread"

Scientists have discovered that a number of spider species catch and eat fish.

Spiders are traditionally viewed as predators of insects, but a new study suggests that eating fish is widespread among species that live near water.
In some cases, the arachnids used powerful poisons to kill fish that were much bigger than them.

There is no comment on the availability of chips and/or mushy peas. ;)
