Jackson B's Spider Report


Spiders
Spiders have venomous fangs that pops out of their jaw.

The spider lives in every continent except Antarctica.  Spiders usually live on cobwebs at the top corner of your house and some spiders live in the water.

Unlike insects only have two body parts called the abdomen and cephalothorax. At the tip of the abdomen they have a part that spins the web. That part is called the spinneret.

Spiders eat very strange stuff. They eat insects and spiderlings even eat their own mom! Tarantulas are so big that that they eat small animals.

Did you know that after a female spider mates it eats the male? When the spiderlings mum dies they eat the dead carcass.

Spiders are weird but amazing arachnids.
