Can a spider be deaffened?
Discussion
An experiment was done years ago where they trained a spider to respond to commands.
"Forwards" would make it walk forwards.
"Backwards" would make it walk backwards.
Then they pulled all its legs off.
It no longer responded to verbal commands. Proving conclusively that if you pull a spiders legs off it will go deaf.
(yes I know it's a very very old joke)

You mean like can a spider eat a bird? The OP just needs one desperate local and some people prepared to bet on anything.
may not be legal in all countries, seek legal advice before attempting
Ok so it's starting to get dark here and I want to take away the "Beasts" advantage of more eyes to see in the dark. So I'm now doing a dry run pit-stop style in the other speaker, stuffing a crunched up bag in each of the four holes.
Tape is needed to make the bags stay scrunched, can't be doing with wasting time on the fourth hole scrunching the bag! Presently got it down to about 6 seconds when doing one hole at a time, but 3 seconds when doing two at a time. Target is 2 seconds...
