How much silk does a spider have?
They spin 65 yards a day and live for three years, so about 71,175 yards in their lifetime. That's about 40.44 miles!
What kinds of spiders die after giving birth?
No. They lay eggs and carry them around in a silken egg sac. When the eggs hatch they let the babies ride on their backs until they are ready to make it on their own. Then the mother spider goes on her own way. She probably will die of old age and the cold when winter comes.
Well, besides water, all spiders drink the liquified and semi-digested insides of the insects they catch and inject with venom and digestive juices. Some spiders, mostly the kind that wander around to hunt their prey, will drink juice from broken fruit, nectar from flowers, etc., as well as dew, rain drops, etc.

What type of spider has a bright red back and head with a black under body and black legs?
It can be hard to tell what kind of a spider you are looking at that has a red head and back and black and white striped legs, since the body type is also an important factor. Chances are that it is a red-headed jumping spider, which can cause a somewhat painful bite but is not otherwise dangerous to humans.
How many legs does a nematode have?
Flatworms/platyhelminthes have no legs in all their classes. It has cells which are called Cillia, which resemble hairs on a superficial level, which are used to move, in addition to two layers of muscles.

Are scorpions a type of spider?
Spiders form a monophyletic group with all modern spiders sharing a common ancestor. This means that all spiders are equally related to scorpions. Some stem groups may have characteristics that are plesiomorphic or "primitive with respect to other spiders" that may make them appear superficially similar to ancient arachnids.
What are facts about people with no legs?
People with no legs can adapt to various mobility aids, such as prosthetics, wheelchairs, or crutches, allowing them to navigate their environments effectively. Many individuals with limb loss lead active and fulfilling lives, participating in sports, arts, and other activities. They often face challenges related to accessibility and societal attitudes but can also inspire others through their resilience and achievements. Advances in technology and rehabilitation have significantly improved their quality of life and independence.
Latin name: Lepthyphantes minutus
Size: Between 3mm and 4mm
Distribution: Found throughout the UK.
Months seen: May to November.
Habitat: Tree trunks, old bird nests and sometimes in houses. Builds a small sheet web.
Food: Tiny insects.
Special features: Despite its specific name 'minutus' is one of the largest money spiders, or which there are around 20 species (though recent taxonomic work suggests the genus should be split into smaller groups).
Lepthyphantes minutus is the only one of this genus which has an all-dark carapace and banded legs, making it recognisable in the field.
It is widespread and common, sometimes coming into houses, but usually found in dry microhabitats such as the litter caught in epicormic growth on tree trunks, old bird nests etc.
The genus as a whole contains several of our commonest spiders. The much smaller Lepthyphantes tenuis which has claim to being THE commonest spider in Britain.
Are barn weaving spiders poisonous?
Like all spiders, a barn spider is poisonous, but not usually particularly harmful to humans. The bit of a barn spider may cause some swelling and redness for a day or two, but it is unlikely to cause a human or an animal to become ill.
How do spiders lay their eggs?
"Different spiders mate in different positions, but in all cases the aim is to transfer sperm from the male to the female. The male does this by inserting the mating organ at the end of its pedipalp (a spine-like structure on tip) carrying the sperm, into the female's reproductive (epigynal) opening on the underside of her body. In some species the tip of the pedipalp will break off during mating or a hardened secretion will block the females openings, preventing other males from mating with that female. The sperm is stored in sacs inside the female's abdomen until she is ready to lay her eggs."
