-Gets food by trapping it
in a web
-Can spin webs by
using a special silk
gland
-Can kill prey by using it’s
Poisonous fangs
(females only)

ANATOMY OF A SPIDER- Spiders transport nutrients and oxygen by circulating blood through their bodies- Most arachnids lack muscles in their legs, so they move their legs hydraulically by
using the blood pressure in their legs

ANATOMY OF A SPIDER
- Spiders exchange gases using an organ called a Book-Lung
- A book lung is made of several air pockets surrounded by blood filled tissues
- Spiders use book lungs to perform respiration

ANATOMY OF A SPIDER
- Spiders can not eat their food in solid form
- When a spider catches its prey, it turns it into a liquid by using digestive juices produced in its stomach
- The spider sucks up the liquid remains and absorbs its nutrients

LIFE CYCLE- An infant arachnid will hatch from an egg- The infant arachnid grows up into an adult- The adult arachnid will eventually find a mate- An adult male will transfer sperm to a female- Female lays eggs- New arachnids hatch from eggs

FUN FACTS
-Almost all arachnids are carnivores
-Spiders eat more insects than birds and bats combined, and play a big role in insect population control
-Spiders can regenerate lost limbs, just like reptiles
