Esmerelda spins a web while orbiting the Earth. She has been in zero-g for 25 days and still kicking. Not to mention, she is HUGE!
Spiders in Space is a K-12 educational experiment that examines the behavioral and physical changes of golden orb weaving spiders in space. The experiment was launched aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour on May 16, 2011 and transferred to the International Space Station on May 19, 2011. Overseen by the Baylor College of Medicine Center for Educational Outreach in conjunction with BioServe Space Technologies, students from all over the country are conducting analog experiments in their classrooms to determine how the spiders are adapting to their microgravity environment. Support comes from NASA and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). More information can be found at http://www.bioedonline.org/space/STS_Mission_134S.cfm

There needs to be a multi generational study done with these spiders or flies to see if any evolutionary effects take place to better cope with null gravity.
