MOSQUITO JUMPING VAMPIRE SPIDERS

These spider is called the vampire spider and for good reason.It feeds on blood but it doesn´t get it from a host, it cacthes female mosquitoes with a belly full of blood. New research shows that vampire spiders seak out the blood full belly and the antennae of the mosquito.
The consuming of blood also releases a smell that is irresistible to the opposite sex, so it also could have a sexual behaviour,( similar to cosmetics with animal pheromones).
