Spiders

Spiders are amazing creatures! There are 38,000 known species of spiders. Did you know a human is said to never be more than ten feet away from a spider? But spiders are NOT insects! Spiders have eight legs and two bodily sections, while insects have six legs and three bodily sections.

Some spiders are poisioness (and deadly) but most are not.

All spiders produce silk which many use to spin webs and capture prey.

The largest spider is the goliath spider which can grow tp be 11 inches wide with fangs that grow to be one inch long!
