Scientists discovered the jumping spider Evarcha culicivora prefers feeding on malaria-infested mosquitoes using virtual versions of the pests. The spiders were placed on top of an inclined metal ramp oriented toward virtual mosquitoes projected in front of them onto a screen. Credit: Ximena Nelson et al., PLoS ONE
