If the spider had a significant amount if nichrome in her diet that
wouldn't
have happened. I've started a company to sell flies of various sizes that
have
been fed a diet of 10 ppm of oxygen free nichrome. Just let the flies
loose in the shack, the spiders eat them and create a lossy network, err
web. I'm working on the modeling software as I type, the biggest problem
is
calibrating my grid dip meter with the special spider measurement coil I
had
to invent...patent pending.
