Question

Cobwebs are popular decorations at Halloween time, but an experiment in which spiders were given psychoactive substances showed that it really affects their web spinning skills! The web below was spun under the influence of what?

Answer 1

Since the design of the disordered web has not been given, I will give a general answer.

Research shows that psychoactive drugs like caffeine, LSD, amphetamine, marijuana, mescaline, IBMX etc. show adverse effects on many animals. Spiders are known to build disordered webs when they are under the influence of most of the drugs.

 

 Psychoactive drugs like amphetamine, mescaline, strychnine, LSD, and caffeine were known to have affected the size and shape of the web rather than the time when it is built. At lower doses, the webs were smaller with uneven radii, which became more disordered as the dose concentration increased.

Answer 2

in 1960 the researchers fed caffeine to spiders in hope of making them spin webs
