Learning More About Spiders

What are spiders? Well, this pest is a member of the Araneae order. They’re arthropods that generally have eight legs and six or eight eyes. They have fangs and can use them to inject venom into their victims. There are spiders around the world with more than 40,000 identified spices. Spiders can create webs by extruding silk from their abdomens. Once they’ve done that, they can use the webs to capture and kill prey. The type of prey they prefer depends on the species and its size. Some of the largest spider species can consume lizards and birds. Smaller spiders prefer consuming other spiders and insects.

Some spiders are social and can live in communal webs with more than 50,000 other spiders. In nature, a spider will likely survive a few years. When they’re living in a protected environment, spiders can survive up to 25 years or longer. Adult female spiders grow larger than their male counterparts, but male spiders have larger palps. If you’ve found a spider in your home, you’re likely looking at a male spider. It has entered your home while looking for a female for mating purposes.
