Spiders are among the earliest creatures to live on land and are thought to have evolved about 400 million years ago, that is millions of years before dinosaurs. Worldwide, there are about 38,000 known species of spiders. Spiders are not insects but arachnids. They have eight legs unlike insects, which have six legs but like insects, they are invertebrates because they do not have backbones. All spiders moult at least once a year and when they reach adulthood. With female tarantulas, the process may continue for a lifetime, perhaps more than 20 years. Although most spiders feed mainly on insects or other tiny creatures, there are some species that prey on animals as big as mice and small birds. Spiders have pointed fangs with which they inject their prey with venom. This venom not only paralyses the prey but also breaks down the flesh of the prey into liquid. The spider then feeds by sucking up this liquid. Different spider spin different types of web to trap their prey. However, not all spiders catch prey by building sticky webs. Some, like wolf spiders, rely entirely on their speed and strength to overcome prey. The spitting spider spits poisonous glue on its prey to paralyse them. The largest spider in the world is believed to be the Goliath Spider. It is found in the coastal rainforest in northern South America. Its body can grow to nine centimeters in length and its leg span can be up to 28 centimeters. Some spiders are quite harmless and even beneficial as they help us rid of unwanted insects in our homes. However, there are some that cause harm to human beings. The most dangerous spiders in the world are thought to be the redback spiders, banana spiders, funnel-web spiders and recluse spiders. Their bites can cause inflammations and in some cases even bring about death. 3
