Spiders spend their time spinning perfect, intricate webs that are stronger than steel and more elastic than a rubber band. But this feat requires very little brainpower. A new study<\/a> indicates that a spider\u2019s legs act without oversight from its brain, constructing webs with the same autonomy as a human heart beat.<\/p>\n

By filming and evaluating the movements of a common garden spider (Araneus diadematus, to be precise), researchers Fritz Vollrath and Thiemo Krink found that spider legs repeat a fixed \u201caction pattern\u201d to measure and organize each strand of web. Each leg acts as an independent agent during this building process, freeing the spider to look for predators and other threats. You can see an example of a spider\u2019s web-building \u201caction pattern\u201d in the video below, along with a few words from researcher Thiemo Krink.<\/p>\n
