The video explores the behavior of social spiders, focusing on their challenges in detecting prey within colonies. Students are engaged in an empathy exercise where they simulate the limited vision of spiders by being blindfolded and placed in artificial webs. They attempt to detect prey using different types of silk, enhancing their understanding of spider behavior and sensory limitations.
