Arthropods And Spiders

Most people do not know it, but spiders are arthropods that belong to the Araneae order. Spiders are unique because they have eight legs and many have eight eyes. Another thing to note is that spiders have fangs that they use to bite their victims and inject them with venom. In some cases, a spider’s venom can be deadly. Suffice to say, you’ll want to do everything you can to avoid getting bit by the spiders in your home. As for the spider’s prey, they have to worry about getting stuck in the spider’s web. Spiders can extrude silk and use this ability to build webs.

Small spiders will trap and kill other spiders and small insects. Some of the larger spider species will kill lizards, birds, and other prey. Although many spiders are solitary, others live in communal webs. When they do so, they can live alongside thousands of other spiders. When living in a safe environment, a spider can survive for more than 25 years, but they rarely survive a few years in the world. It is common for adult female spiders to be dramatically larger than their male counterparts.

Another big difference is the size of the spider’s mouthparts. If the fangs are larger, you’re dealing with a male spider. You’re also more likely to find male spiders in your home because they enter dwellings when searching for female mates.

Spider Bites Can Be Dangerous

You know that spiders can bite, so you’re worried that they’re going to be dangerous. How dangerous is a spider bite? Ultimately, it is hard to say, but most spider bites are indeed harmless. More than 90% of spider bites will be harmless, but a few can be severe. In rare situations, the spider bite victim will experience necrotic wounds or even death. The primary concern is that the victim is going to be injected with dangerous venom. If that happens, the victim will need to get medical attention as quickly as possible.

Even when the bite isn’t deadly, it will be painful and unpleasant. Suffice to say, it is wise to avoid getting bit by a spider in the first place.
