Spiders are from the Arthropod family,they can live from 1 to 25 years of age. Their Scientific name is Araneae. The largest Spiders can eat frogs, mice and even birds.
The Biggest spider on earth is call the Goliath Birdeater.
If you are looking to find an Araneae they can be found in every single place on earth except for the Antarctic area. The approximate population of spiders on earth was calculated around 40,000. They have eight legs which connect them to the Arthropods.
Araneae have a really sensitive skin so their hairs can sense danger and when it does the hair stands up and acts defensive to protect the spider. Two more interesting facts about spiders is that the female Spider can lay 3,000 eggs and the life span of a female is much larger than a male.
Overall I think that learning about spiders is fascinating and learning things about it will make want to learn more.
