Spiders. Deep in the forest. You might just come across a creepy crawly Spider. Spiders can be found all over the world. From Timbuktu to Uluru.

Clever spiders can make silk. Which they use to spin elaborate spider webs. Spider webs are great for catching a spider’s dinner.
Blowing gently in the wind, unsuspecting flies get caught in the spider webs. The spider then wraps the fly or other prey up with silk.That way the spider can eat the prey later. Some spiders use venom to like a snake, to paralyse there pray.

But most spiders are harmless to humans. Did you know? Spiders are arachnids not insects. Insects have 6 legs, 3 body parts and antennae. While Spiders have 8 legs, 2 body parts and no antennae. They can have up to 8 eyes too, but they still don’t have very good eyesight.

Daddy long legs have really long legs. And some spiders are brilliant and white. Spiders can lay unto 1000 eggs. That’s a lot of babies when they hatch, isn’t it?
