Jumping spiders and the moon, dung beetles and the Milky Way

A report called “Tiny Jumping Spiders Can See the Moon” suggests that tiny jumping spiders can see the moon. The article does not suggest what, if any use the spiders might make of seeing the moon, if and when they do see it. (The article does explore the spiders’ ability to see glowing dots produced by laser pointers.)

Perhaps, perhaps there is some relation, or some sort, of this to the Ig Nobel Prize-winning study “Dung beetles use the Milky Way for orientation“.

BONUS: “Capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) use a laser pointer to indicate distal objects“
