What is a spider? 4 quick-fire facts<\/h2>\n

While you might see some of them in the corners of your house, you might not really know much more about spiders. We\u2019re here to change that with our quick fun facts!<\/p>\n

Spiders are arachnids<\/h3>\n

Spiders are classified as arachnids<\/a>, which puts them in the same category as scorpions, ticks and mites. This classification generally means the animals have a hard body and 8 legs.<\/p>\n

There are over 45,000 species of spiders<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s right \u2013 there are tens of thousands of types of spiders, meaning they come in all shapes<\/a>, sizes and colours. From the Amazonian-native goliath bird-eating tarantula<\/a> to the bright blue gooty ornamental tarantula<\/a>, each one is unique in its own right. They\u2019re also found all over the world, with some being much more common than others. To put you at ease, only a tiny percentage of these are known to be venomous or harmful to humans in any way.<\/p>\n

Spiders have 8 legs and up to 8 eyes<\/h3>\n

It might be common knowledge that spiders have 8 long legs, but did you know they can also have up to 12 eyes, depending on the species? Their eyes always come in pairs, and often have a dominant central pair. The others are usually much smaller and harder to spot, but they help spiders gain a wider field of vision to look out for danger or prey.<\/p>\n

Spiders make webs<\/h3>\n
