Similar to a protein shake, blood can be a highly nutritious drink that goes down smoothly.

How does the writer know that?

A spider which has evolved to drink blood. But, it can't get blood from animals that manufacture blood. So, it evolved to drink blood from animals that already drank blood. Because that's easier.

Evolution is surprising.

This bring up an interesting question that I have wondered about before, if male mosquitoes do not eat blood, what do they eat?

"Maybe spiders will end up like bed bugs," he said. "They could have that bed-bug lifestyle of laying around and coming out at night when a big, huge, monstrous food item comes tantalizingly near them and simply goes to sleep."

Great, just great! :-O

I predict this spider will get UN legal protection, which means the mosquitoes will get protection too.

Ok, I'm going to need a tiny little cross, a sharpened matchstick and an eyedropper full of holy water.

So it feeds off of the thing that sucks the blood from its victims?

Welfare recipients!
