Question
1 It may be hard to believe, but spiders and frogs can be good roommates. The strange relationship exists between a special kind of spider and a special kind of frog that live in South America. The spider is a type of poisonous tarantula, and it is much larger than many other types of spiders. It makes a burrow instead of a web and hunts for its food, such as crickets and fruit flies, to bring back to its burrow.
2 The frog lives in the spider's burrow with the spider. The spider is much larger than the frog but does not eat it. The frog eats the tiny ants that come into the burrow and attack the spider's eggs. The frog's mouth and sticky tongue are excellent ant catchers. The frog is safe from the spider and safe from animals that know to stay away from the dangerous spider's burrow.
3 Scientists have watched these spiders catch the small frogs and have observed that the spiders can recognize them. The spider will look at and touch the frog's face, and after that, the spider will let the frog go without hurting it.
