Hi Claas,
while this may be not the best plot one can imagine, I think it shows
well behaviour of individual spider (results are grouped by spider
identity, I guess). So yes, one could use specific symbol per spider,
but this seems like a usable way how to to cope with the "per-spider"
grouping, isn't it?
Best,
Martin

> whatever R code you will end up using, the example image you attached is a good example of how NOT to display ecological data. There is no ecological meaning for the lines connecting the dots (i.e, there is nothing halfway between an ant and a termite), as the x axis shows categorial classes and not a continous parameter such as time to consume prey or prey size etc...
