How much does a spider weigh?

Answer 1

The weight of a Jumping Spider depends greatly on the individual species the most common Jumping Spider (Phidippus audax) has:

Body Length of about 2cm

Weight of about 5 grams

I say about because:

1) Each spider is going to have its own body length and thus its own weight so we are working with approximated averages to begin with.

2) I did some extensive research and could not find the weight of this particular spider I did however find the weight of the Goliath Bird-Eating Jumping Spider which has a body length of about 9cm and weighs about 170g. Then used a mass/size conversion ratio (which is not perfect but does get you close) program I have to extrapolate an approximate weight.

Answer 2

The weight of a spider varies depending on the species. On average, a spider can weigh anywhere from a few milligrams to a few grams. Larger species like the Goliath bird-eating spider can weigh over 6 ounces.

Answer 3

The weight of the happy face spider is 2 to 3 grams. The length of the happy face spider is 5 mm or three sixteenth of an inch.

Answer 4

It would depend on the type. There are almost microscopic Spiders to spiders big enough to kill birds.

Answer 5
