the Cephalothorax. The spider's eyes, mouth fangs, stomach, brain and the glands that make the poison are on this part of the body. The legs are connected to this part, as well. Most Spiders have eight eyes, but some have less. Spiders also have these tiny little leg-ish things called 'pedipalps' that are beside the fangs. They help to hold prey while the spider bites it.
The second part of the body is called the Abdomen. The back end of the abdomen is where the spinnerets, the silk producing glands, are. The spider's body has an oil on it to keep the spider from sticking to it's own web.
Spider's legs are covered with many hairs. The hairs pick up vibrations and smells from the air. At the end of the legs are, at least, two small claws. Spiders have 48 knees. Yup, count them…eight legs with six joints on each.
Spiders do not have a skeleton inside their bodies. They have a hard outer shell called an 'exoskeleton'. Because it is hard, it can't grow with the spider. So young spiders need to molt, or shed their exoskeleton. The spider must climb out of the old shell through the cephalothorax. You can imagine how hard it must be to pull all those legs out! They are pretty helpless at this point. Once they are out they must stretch themselves out before the new exoskeleton hardens. This gives them a bit of growing room. As adults, they stop growing and do not need to molt.
Male spiders are usually smaller than females.
< PREV NEXT >A spiders heart is located in their abdomen, above their intestines near the midline of their body. A spiders heart is a simple tube, and does not have different chambers like a mammalian heart does.
To be technical, neither one. Spider webs come from organs called spinnerets. Spiders have anywhere from 2 to 8 of them, though 6 is the most common number. The spinnerets are usually located on the underside of the abdomen towards the rear.
on the head
Yes, I believe it is true that spiders crawl into your mouth at night. My friend told me that an average of 9 spiders crawl into your mouth at night. But im not sure if that is true so do some reseach or something to find out if it is. :o)
All spiders have eight legs, but not all spiders have eight eyes. Some have 6, 4, 2, or 0 eyes.
Most spiders have 8 eyes, although some have six or less. Most species have poor vision and can mostly just detect light versus darkness. Some kinds, like jumping spiders and wolf spiders, have good vision. Spider eyes are simple instead of compound and have only one lens in front of the retina.
A black widow spider has eight eyes. The eyes are located in the front of the head and are arranged in two rows. Black widow spiders are very protective of their egg sacs but rarely bite humans.
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.
Spiders eyes are on the front where the legs are usually attached
Nope. Some spiders have eyes that are bigger than some small spiders themselves.
spiders have compound eyes
Unlike other spiders, the jeweled spider has two eyes.
Spiders do not have compound eyes. They are blind or else have 2, 4, 6, or 8 simple eyes.
most Spiders have 8 eyes
yes, they do see of their eyes
To see with.
A scorpions mouth looks like a spiders mouth

Yes
