The Redback was interesting but that pheromone spider is just god damn evil.

It's no wonder she can laze about all day, as long as moths exist she's basically guaranteed food. On top of that, it looks like bird shit so nothing wants to eat it? That's some serious evolution!

Agreed. I think that's the first example of hunting with pheromones that I've heard of. And being able to customize them for different species is almost beyond belief.
