Well, darling, when the lovely Earth stands between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on our lunar friend, the only rays that manage to reach the moon are those sneaky red ones. So, the poor moon ends up looking like it's been slapped with a rouge brush. How scandalous!

Do Spiders have transparent blood.?

Spiders have blue blood. In human blood oxygen is bound to hemoglobin which contains iron, giving it the blood a red color. In spiders, as well as other Arthropods and Molluscs, oxygen is bound to hemocyanin which contains copper, giving its blood a blue color. The same interaction that causes oxygenated blood to color, also causes iron rust to appear reddish and the oxidized copper to appear green. However, I have noticed no color in spider blood before.

Why does the moon rise red?

The moon can appear red when it is low on the horizon due to scattering of light by particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This scattering causes the shorter blue and green wavelengths to be scattered away, leaving the longer red wavelengths to reach our eyes, giving the moon a reddish appearance.
