  Many years ago, some film footage did the rounds of a laboratory experiment wherby spiders were subjected to cannabis, heroin, LSD, caffeine, MDMA etc etc, and their attempts to build webs under the influence was recorded... I think it was timelapse photography and the wens were picked out by light against a dark background.

  Does anyone have any links to this original footage from years back, or recall it, its name or anything?

  I'm not asking for results from Google. I've already googled and there are a hundred different 'spiders on drugs' clips, but none of them are particularly good. The stuff that did the rounds originally we high quality, all shot in the same conditions/environment, all framed identically etc.

  I repeat, I'm not asking for google searches, or comments to the effect that I should search for it on Google.

  Thanksee

  Take some LSD and looks at lots of pictures/footage of spiders.

  Then go for a walk in a rainforest or search through a dark attic.

  ^ Thats not it either.

  Don't kill me, but this is the result of a Google search. I think the keywords you want to focus on are spiders and 'CAFFEINE', as that was the particularly unique one.

  If it is the below you're thinking of, I *think* I've only ever seen it as a series of individual low res images. It was quite an old story, iirc.

  I'm probably totally wrong. Anyway.

  I've seen the spoof where it seems totally legit and scientific for the first half and then the spiders get hangovers and smoke cigarettes etc

  Det,

  In terms of the quality of the movies, they certainly looked more like that than the video stuff that comes up in googley video searches. So thanks for posting them. There were actual films somewhere though one time. I think they might have been Open University or some other academic study material.
