Spider Colonies.
From the London Globe.

Our native spiders are notable for their
extreme unsociability. OF those which are
spinners each one constructs its web
apart from those of it's kind. And those
which hunt pursue their prey alone.
In other countries, however, there are
spiders which live in communities, and
one such. a native of Mexico, is de-
scribed by NJ L. Diguet 1t is known
as the mosquero and makes a large
nest in oaks and other trees Here the
spiders live gregariously and along with
them in the nest is found a minute
beetle and another species Of spider.
The beetle Is said to act as scavenger
Parts of the nest of the mosauero are
hung up in the houses during the wet
season to get rid of the flies.
