Spiders are air-breathing arthropods with eight legs, chelicerae with fangs, and no wings. They are the largest order of arachnids and are found worldwide, except for Antarctica.
Yes, almost all spiders are venomous, but the venom of most species is not harmful to humans. Only a small number possess venom potent enough to cause significant medical issues in people.
Spiders produce silk from specialized glands called spinnerets, located at the rear of their abdomen. This protein-based silk is used for webs, egg sacs, safety lines, and many other purposes.
Most spiders are predatory carnivores, feeding primarily on insects and other small arthropods. Larger species may occasionally catch small vertebrates like frogs or birds.
