There is a species of spider that builds models of itself, which it uses as decoys to distract predators.The spider may be the first example of an animal building a life-size replica of its own body.
So believe the scientists who made the discovery, which is published in the journal Animal Behaviour.
Are the animals and insects cleverer than humans?

Nice question . They are clever for their "rank" in nature, there is no point to compare them with humans. May be in a way they are cleverer because don't destroy what they've build and don't spoil the environment they are living in.

Very interesting insect. Well on the globe there are different species of animals, birds and insects - they are all very important and each one contributes to the nature in his own way and each one is individual from another.

animals have no way to be smarter because not possessing the rationality qualities characteristic of human being! But animals are more united and caring towards their lives and his fellow! an animal never going to be a suicide when a man yes! this situatuie could mean that the animal deserves to have more rationality than a human!
