Fun Facts About Spiders


- Unlike the state of Missouri, Antarctica has no spiders. In fact, it is the only country that doesn't have any spiders. 

- There is only one species of spider that has been identified as a vegetarian, which is the Bagheera kiplingi. It is a type of jumping spider found in Central America. 

- Most spiders have four sets of eyes. However, the way they are arranged depends on the type of species. 

- Jumping spiders can jump up to 50 times their own length. This is due to the amount of blood pressure found in the back limbs. 

- The strength of silk, given its size, is stronger and more durable than steel. It is considered to be the strongest material in the world. Scientists have tried to recreate this design but have failed, even with all the technology available. 

- There are nearly 40,000 species of spiders in the world. However, scientists believe there are much more out there. 

- Spiders will roll up their old web and eat it before making a new web. As spiders only eat liquid, they produce a substance that can turn their web into liquid making it possible for them to eat it. 

- As spiders don't have muscles in their limbs, they use hydraulic power to move around. When a spider moves they have four legs on the surface and four legs off it. 

- The world's largest spider is a male goliath bird-eating spider that had a leg span of 11 inches, which could cover a dinner plate. It was found in Venezuela in April 1965. 

- On the other hand is the world's smallest spider is the Samoan moss spider. It has a body length of only 0.01 inch. It is part of a group of 44 midget species that create the world's smallest spider webs. 

- There are about 5,000 different types of jumping spiders, more than any other species of spiders. They make up about 13 percent of all spider species known to scientists.
