Although most species have 4 pairs of eyes, some have 3, 2, 1, or 0 pairs.Spider eyes cannot rotate the way our can, so they can't see anything that their body is not pointing one of their eyes at. So it is better for the spider to have eyes that point in many directions.
so they can see

How many simple eyes do spiders have?

yes they do they have great eyesight'Several families of hunting spiders, such as jumping spiders and wolf spiders, have fair to excellent vision. The main pair of eyes in jumping spiders even see in color. Net-casting spiders have enormous, compound lenses that give a wide field of view and gather available light very efficiently. However, most spiders that lurk on flowers, webs, and other fixed locations waiting for prey tend to have very poor eyesight; instead they possess an extreme sensitivity to vibrations, which aids in prey capture. Vibration sensitive spiders can sense vibrations from such various mediums as the water surface, the soil or their silk threads. Also changes in the air pressure can be detected in the search for prey.


How many leg for the spider?

Spiders are arachnids, so they have eight legs.


Can spiders talk?

No they can't. Nearly all animals with eyes can blink otherwise their eyeballs would just dry up and they would become blind but as spiders don't have eyelids this means that there is nothing to blink with so they must have some other way to keep their eyes moist.


Do spiders have 8 eyes?

Yes Spiders have 8 eyes Most spiders have eight simple eyes. [Insects on the other hand have large, compound eyes.] The two main eyes of a spider each have a simple lens, and a retina which is made up of light sensitive cells whose surfaces point toward he light as it enters the eye. These main eyes have a small field of vision with high resolution. They are especially well developed in jumping spiders. A spider's secondary eyes also have a lens but the light sensitive cells of these eyes point away from the light as do the similar cells in a human eye. The secondary eyes detect shadows and the difference between light and dark.


Do spiders eat ladybugs?

Yes, some spiders may eat ladybugs if they come across them. However, not all spiders are inclined to feed on ladybugs as they may have other preferred prey.

Can you combine all species of spiders in the world?

I'm not sure what you mean by "combine," but if you mean to breed different spiders together and get some kind of hybrid that would combine all the characteristics, then the answer is no. For instance, some spiders have no eyes, some have one pair of eyes, some two, some three, and some four pairs of eyes. You would have to make a choice. Suppose that there were 5 species of spiders. Two had 2 eyes, another 4 eyes, another 6 eyes, and one had no eyes. Adding them all together you would have 14/5= 2.8 eyes for the hybrid spider. Some spiders have two claws per foot, and some have three claws on each foot. There is no compromise position between these two basic choices. There are so many different species of spiders that it would take an immense time period just to try to get them to mate. Most of the hybrids probably would not be capable of reproducing among themselves, and much less could they be manipulated to hybridize with other hybrids.

Do spiders come in your room if you have a hamster?

Hamsters aren't known to be particularly aggressive creatures, so it's very likely that spiders will continue to come into your room even if you buy a hamster in an attempt to ward them off. If spiders didn't come in your room before you had a hamster, it's unlikely that the presence of a hamster would increase the frequency with which spiders enter said room.

How long are the wolf spiders legs?

A spider is an araneae, an order of arachnid. There are many thousand different kinds of spiders. All spiders have eight legs. Most spiders have eight eyes but some have fewer than eight. They don't have ears, they feel the sound vibrations with tiny hairs on their legs. Their bodies have two parts, the head and the abdomen. The abdomen is plump. Spider blood is light blue. Blood fills up all the empty space in the spider's body, it helps to keep the legs stiff so the spider can walk. Spiders breathe, too. As spiders grow, they molt. That means they shed their old skin and grow a new one. They molt many times before they become adults. Many spiders live for only one year but some, like tarantulas can live much longer. Spiders come in different sizes. Some are fuzzy and others are smooth, and they come in many different colors. Spiders live in many different kinds of places, water, gardens, houses, and the ground. They live where it is hot and where it is cold. They live where it is wet and where it is dry. Some are poisonous and others are not. They all eat insects and some other animals.
