Spiders-Amazing Creatures

Spiders are more than 40,000 spider species. Some say that these creatures are really freaky!!! But I think they are cool, for a creature that has 4 pairs of eyes of course !!! The most amazing thing about the spider is that they never get trapped in their own webs. This is because their legs are oily as a result their legs don't get stuck in their webs. In addition to this spider web has alternate sticky and non-sticky web and the spiders know which one is sticky and which one is not. They belong to arthropod group. Arthropod means jointed legs. Spiders usually feed on insect while some spiders that are large enough feed on birds and lizards. Spider species that use webs to capture their prey are extremely sensitive to vibrations of air and ground. Certain spiders like the jumping spiders have excellent eyesight. They are called as Jumping spiders as they can jump from place to place. Jumping spiders are generally identified from their eye pattern as they are arranged in 2 or 3 rows. Spiders are believed to have evolved around 318 to 299 million years ago. Spiders are not only cool but also ancient!!!
