What spider has four legs to huge pinchers and an abdomen like a stinger?

User Avatar

Asked by Chinchie

The cat-faced spider (Araneus gemmoides) may be described as having a large abdomen with four pin-sized holes.

The spider is harmless. It is called cat-faced because of the patterning of the dimples, holes or indentations on its abdomen. The pattern often is interpreted as reminiscent of the eyes and ears of a cat.

How does a Hermit Crab swim?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends. If it is a land hermit crab "no", you do not want to put it in deep water to make it swim, it can actually just drown and die. I used to have a hermit crab and my friends babysitted it and when i got back the water bowl was spilt and my hermit crab was laying on its side, dead. If it is a water hermit crab, "yes". It needs water so it can swim, and just relax in it. it needs it!

Do saltwater hermit crabs molt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hermit Crabs do shed there skin (when they molt) - which is when you have to pay VERY close attention. You can tell when they're molting because they eat extra, dig holes alot more and sleep most of the day and night.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermit Crabs look like they die and fell out of thier shell. The skin they left behind looks just like them but they only grew out of thier old skin and are still growing like a snake, cicada, or anything else that sheds and leaves skin or a shell behind. So don't worry. I found one my first time having one. It looked like it was transfering into a new shell. It was in there for a while so when i picked it up the skin fell off and when i thought it died I almost threw the shell away but I looked in the shell and the crab was in the shell still. So thats when i looked up this question. When hermit crabs actually die they look like a shrimp with their tail but when they molt they don't shed all the way to their tail, only half way. HOPE THIS HELPED.
