Secrets of the insect world

In 1997, based on a science fiction novel by R. Heinlein, "The Starship Troopers" shot the film of the same name. It turns though and is bright, but, anyway, is somewhat crooked and with a lot of subject irritation and inconsistencies. But today we will not discuss the director's mistakes. Today we will talk about the Arachnid race and what (more precisely, who) becomes the prototype for these creatures.
