 Spider

There are over 3000 species of spiders and they belong to the Arachnid family. Spiders are not
insects, but are related to scorpions and other arachnids that have eight legs and no antennae. Most
spider have poor eyesight and little sense of hearing and smell. They do, however, have a well
developed sense of touch in the hairs and spines that cover their body. They may vary in size from
about 1 mm to a giant 200 mm.

Spiders are known for their ability to spin silk. They are able to produce this from glands in the
abdomen and the silk comes out through organs called spinnerets. The silk is strong and elastic and
is used to trap the spider’s prey. Spiders use their webs in different ways. Some weave a net to
throw over their prey, while others attach a sticky blob to the end of a silken thread and whirl it
around in a circle to wrap around an insect.

Spiders suck the fluids from their victims rather than eat solid food. Then they crush the hard parts,
mixing them with digestive juice to make them into a liquid as well.

Female spiders lay large numbers of tiny eggs and cover them in a silken sac. Some species carry
this sac around with them. When first hatched, the young resembled adults and slowly develop to full
size. Before mating, some spiders perform courtship dances. After mating, some male spiders are
eaten by the female.
