Spiders are fascinating creatures that have been around for millions of years. They are known for their ability to spin
webs, which they use to catch prey. There are over 40,000 known species of spiders, and
they can be found in all parts of the world except Antarctica. Some interesting
facts about spiders include:
- Spiders are not insects. They are arachnids, which is a class of animals that also includes scorpions, ticks, and mites.
- Spiders have eight legs, two body parts (the cephalothorax and abdomen), and eight eyes.
