You might tell a 5 year old "spiders catch prey with nets, just like humans do! isn't that neat??"
Dawkins wants to elicit a 5 year old's excitement from an adult, so he tried saying "forget all you learned about spiders, now imagine if lions caught prey with nets just like humans, wouldn't that be neat? ...but such lions do exist! they're called spiders!"
I'm enjoying how he's being dragged in the replies, and how the people trying to defend him are utterly failing to come up with, you know, an actual defense.
What fucking point does he think he's making here? Is there a context to this, or is it just a wet fart?

I've literally been staring at this hoping I'd understand but it just seems like a wet fart

Lion-spiders would be dope, that is all.
You mean like an ant-lion?
