    This is my fact file on arachnids ( known as spiders). A lot of people have Arachnophobia. This is where you are scared of spiders. Spiders may be scary but they are fascinating. All spiders have 8 legs, they don’t have antenna which separates them from other kinds of insects. They also have 4 sets of eyes, which gives them sharp vision .In some species, males are often much smaller than the females in size. This is unusual as this is the opposite for a lot of animal species. When a female spider lays eggs it lays a whopping 3,000 eggs. The largest spider is the Giant Bird Eating Spider and the Huntsman spider is the world’s largest spider by leg-span. The Giant Bird Eating Spider can be found in South America. Despite its name it only rarely eats birds. Many house spiders use a trick to capture flies. They set down a web and wait for flies to fly into them. Once they fly has been caught in the web then the spider than preys on them .There are believed to be at least 40,000 species of Spiders in the world.
