I am an Anelosimus studiosus
My species can be docile or aggressive
If I'm aggressive I'm more likely to survive a hurricane
If I'm docile, my survival rate's less impressive.

Note: Make sure that you read the article below, it's a super interesting study about spider personality types and how they handle hurricanes.
