       @xarvos @raccoon you get the paper, get ! https://tetzoo.com/blog/2022/8/7/tiny-frogs-and-giant-spiders-best-of-friends>microhylids (frog) specialise on eating ants, and ants are one of the major predators of spider eggs. By eating ants, the microhylids might help protect the spider’s eggs.> The frogs also seem to benefit from the fact that the leftovers of the spiders’ meals provide food for their tadpoles (Karunarathna & Amarasinghe 2009), and attract small insects that are eaten by the frogs (Siliwal & Ravichandran 2008).

       @xarvos @raccoon >Due to their small size, ants are presumably difficult for the spiders to deal with, and they might be effectively helpless against them.
