Fruitweavers

== Information ==
=== Habitat and Lifestyle ===
Fruitweavers are an intriguing species of spiders that thrive in the lush forests of Assai. They are predominantly found in areas rich with fruit-bearing trees, where their unique webbing behavior and feeding habits play a crucial role in the local ecosystem.
=== Webbing on Fruits ===
When Fruitweavers locate a suitable fruit, they meticulously spin dense webs around it. This webbing serves as both protection for their eggs and to trap insects that the mother then eats.
=== Feeding Process ===
The life cycle of Fruitweavers begins as their eggs hatch inside the fruit. The baby spiders consume the flesh of the fruit from the inside, causing it to rot gradually. This decomposition process not only provides sustenance for the young spiders but also attracts a variety of insects which then get stuck to the outer webbing due to the fermenting sugars and organic matter.
=== Moving to New Fruit ===
As the fruit continues to decay, the baby spiders reach maturity and are ready to venture out on their own. The mother spider strategically cuts an opening in the web, allowing her offspring to disperse and seek new fruits to colonize. 
=== Silk Collection ===
One notable aspect of Fruitweavers is their production of silk, which plays a significant role in their life cycle. After the baby spiders left and the old fruit falls to the forest floor, it leaves behind a residue of spider silk. This silk is not only durable and resilient but also valuable for various applications, including textile manufacturing, medical research, weaponry, armor, etc.
=== Nutrient Cycle ===
After the baby spiders have left to find new fruits, the mother spider sacrifices it's life to ensure new fruits are made. It attaches itself to a tree and injects a nutrient-rich fluid into the tree's bark, and the mother continues this until starvation. This fluid promotes rapid fruiting and enhances the tree's overall health, contributing to a continuous cycle of fruit production and regeneration in the forest ecosystem.
