What do you know about Spiders? By RJ

What are spiders?

Spiders are 8 legged Arachnids. They live in most habitats on earth but not in polar regions.  This tells us that they do not like the cold temperatures.

They mainly feed on small insects. Big spiders eat small animals such as:
-Small Lizards, Frogs and Birds. Spiders use hydrostatic pressure to extend their legs. Its behaviour reacts to what is going on around them. They hunt at any time of day and night. They use there spider webs to catch them. Spiders do not also just use their webs that way, but can also swing down using its web to sneak up on prey. They have more than one eye, but four or more. By using their eyes, they can use this skill to hunt for prey around them wherever they are. Spiders move fast, others move faster and some jump really high and some are good hunters. Some are small or big spiders. Spiders are fascinating creatures and are important to the environment because it catches pests that are some that are causing trouble to our houses like Woodlice who eat the wood from our houses, Flies because they give out germs and germs to our food when they step on things we eat or use. Some spiders are known to be dangerous because, of the venom that they can inject into anyone or anything. Some spiders only attack because of the instincts they have that something bigger than them or dangerous is about to attack. Bigger spiders are known to be deadly because of the number of killing they have created.

Spiders could inject the venom to their prey through their front spiked teeth. Bigger spiders have the advantage to take on smaller animals. Smaller spiders are keen on feeding on smaller on insects or bugs.
