Hello there! Today, we’re going to learn about an animal that some people find a bit scary: the spider. Are you ready to discover some amazing facts about spiders? Let’s get started!
Spiders are special animals called invertebrates, which means they don’t have a backbone. They belong to a group called arachnids. Spiders are meat-eaters, and their size can vary a lot depending on the type. The biggest spiders can weigh as much as 7 ounces and be as long as 11 inches! You can find spiders everywhere, from jungles to deserts, and even in icy places like the poles. There are over 45,000 different kinds of spiders, including tarantulas, jumping spiders, and crab spiders. That’s a lot of spiders!
Most spiders like to eat small insects like mosquitoes, flies, and moths. Some even eat tiny animals like mice! Recently, scientists found a spider that eats plants, which is pretty unusual. All spiders have eight legs and lots of eyes. Some spiders have six eyes, while others have eight. They can see different colors, and some can even see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to us!
Spiders have bodies covered in tiny hairs. These hairs help protect them from animals that might want to eat them, like bats or lizards. The hairs on their legs help them stick to surfaces, so they can walk on walls and even upside down on ceilings!
Have you ever seen a spider web? Spiders make these webs using silk from their bodies. They use webs to catch their food. Even though webs look delicate, they are super strong. Some people say a web as thick as a pencil could stop an airplane!
Did you know that spiders have blue blood? Our blood is red because it has iron in it, but spider blood has copper, which makes it look blue. Isn’t that cool?
You can find spiders almost anywhere in the world. They like to live in places like jungles, deserts, and forests, but you can also see them in cities. Most spiders like to be alone. The mother spider takes care of her babies when they are born, but after that, they usually live by themselves. Do you think they ever get lonely?
Most spiders live for about one year, but some can live much longer. Tarantulas, for example, can live up to 30 years! Even though some people think spiders are dangerous, most of them are not harmful to humans. While it’s true that some spiders have venom, they rarely bite people. It’s important to be careful around spiders, but there’s no need to hurt them.
Spiders are very important for our environment. They help control the number of insects like moths, bed bugs, and mosquitoes. This makes them natural pest controllers!
Now you know a lot about spiders! Just remember to be careful if you see one. Thanks for learning with us today!

Spider Web Experiment: Create your own spider web using yarn or string. Find a space where you can stretch the yarn between two points, like between two chairs. Try to make a pattern similar to a spider web. Once your web is ready, gently toss small, lightweight objects like cotton balls or paper clips onto the web to see if they stick. Discuss with your friends or family how spiders might use their webs to catch food and how strong the webs are.
Spider Observation Journal: Go on a spider hunt in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for spiders and their webs. When you find one, observe it carefully from a safe distance. Draw a picture of the spider and its web in a notebook. Write down what you notice about the spider’s size, color, and the shape of its web. Think about why the spider might have chosen that spot for its web.
Spider Superpower Role-Play: Pretend you are a spider with superpowers! Think about the special abilities spiders have, like walking on walls or seeing ultraviolet light. Create a short story or play where you use these superpowers to solve a problem or go on an adventure. Share your story with your family or classmates and discuss how these abilities help spiders survive in the wild.

Hello! Today I’m here to tell you about one of the animals that some people are most afraid of: the spider. Do you want to know some incredible things about spiders? Here we go!
The spider is an invertebrate animal and belongs to the arachnid group. Spiders are carnivorous, and their size depends greatly on the species. The largest can weigh up to 7 ounces and measure 11 inches. Spiders can be found in all habitats, from jungles to deserts and even at the poles. There are more than 45,000 species of spiders in the world, including tarantulas, jumping spiders, and crab spiders. We can’t name them all because it would take too long!
Most spiders feed on small insects such as mosquitoes, flies, or moths, although some even eat mice. Did you know that not long ago, an herbivorous species of spider was discovered? All spiders have eight legs and many eyes, with some species having anywhere from six to eight. Some species see only a couple of colors, while others have ultraviolet vision.
Most spiders’ bodies are covered with fur, which can act as a defense mechanism against common predators such as bats or lizards. The fur on the ends of their legs helps them cling to surfaces, which is why they can walk on walls and even on ceilings.
This is a spider web! Thanks to their silk-producing glands, spiders can create these webs to hunt their prey. They may look like weak threads, but they’re very strong. Some say that a spider’s pencil-thick web could stop an airplane in mid-flight!
Did you know that spiders have blue blood? In humans and other animals, oxygen is associated with an iron-containing molecule that gives our blood its red color. However, in spiders, this molecule contains copper, which makes their blood bluish. How interesting!
As I mentioned, we can find spiders anywhere in the world, although they most commonly live in natural areas such as jungles, deserts, or forests. You can also see them in cities. It’s true that most spiders are solitary creatures. The females care for their young when they’re born, but beyond this, they usually live alone. I wonder if they ever get bored!
Most spiders live for only one year, but some species can live up to 10 years. Tarantulas, for example, can live up to 30 years. Do you believe spiders are as dangerous as we think? The truth is that they have a bad reputation. Almost all species produce venom, but most of them are not harmful to humans, and it’s rare that they bite us. While a bite from some species can be dangerous, it’s important to be careful if you come across one, but there’s no need to harm it.
Although many people are afraid of them, spiders are very important for our environment. For starters, they are natural predators and help eliminate some insect pests such as moths, bed bugs, and mosquitoes.
Well, you’ve learned a few things about spiders! Just remember to be cautious around them. See you soon!
