“ #Mites & #spiders are #arachnids and they eat each other, they also have toxins in their #venom that target each other. Spider venom #peptides "organic" way of killing mites doesn't accumulate in the food chain; doesn't kill the farmer or the beekeeper or any pets — it's selective to the #varroa mite," Dr Herzig said.

"Nuptial gift giving – when the male presents the female with a nutritious morsel during courtship and mating – has been noted in species as diverse as #snails, #earthworms & #squid. #Birds have been known to enjoy gift giving too, with male great grey #shrikes impaling small creatures on thorns and twigs to impress mates, before offering them as presents during courtship. However, it is most common amongst #insects & #arachnids."
