Spiders

What Is A Spider?

For many humans, spiders are one of the most frightening pests in the world. They belong to the Araneae order and are arthropods. They have eight legs with six to eight eyes. Their mouthparts are distinct with fangs that can inject venom into their victim. Spiders can be found around the world with researchers identifying more than 40,000 species to date. Spiders can extrude silk from their abdomens. They use this ability to create webs that can help capture prey. Spiders prey on various insects and will also eat other spiders. Some of the largest spider species have been known to consume lizards and birds.

Some spider species are social. The social species will build communal webs and live together with thousands of other spiders. When living in protected spaces, larger spiders can live more than 25 years. In adulthood, female spiders are usually larger than male spiders. Sometimes, the size difference is dramatic. Males can be identified by looking for their enlarged palps or mouthparts. If you find a spider in your home, there is a good chance that you’re dealing with a male spider since they move around to search for female spiders during the mating season.

Do Spiders Pose A Danger?

While there are some exceptions, most spiders bite when they’re trying to defend themselves. Alternatively, you may accidentally stick your hand near the spider’s web. The majority of spider bites will be harmless, but some are severe. In rare situations, the spider bite can lead to necrotic wounds and even death. The biggest concern is that the human has been infected with the spider’s venom. Most spiders in your area do not pose a risk, but you still don’t want to get bit. A spider bite is enough to scare you. It can hurt and it’ll irritate your skin too.

What Causes Spiders?
