Spiders are air-breathing arthropods that inject venom spinnerets that extrude silk to build their web. They feed on insects, flies, and bugs which they trap in their web. There are more than 45,000 known species of spiders all over the world. Spiders life span varies, brown recluse spider 1-2 years, goliath bird eater 15-25 years, southern black widow 1-3 years. Spiders rage in size from the tiny Samoan moss spider which is .011-inch-long to a large Goliath bird eater which has a leg span of about one foot.
Vast majority of spiders are harmless and help control the insect population. Spiders trap flies and insects in their web, inject the prey with digestive fluids, then suck out the liquefied remains. Spiders pick up sound from their silk strands of their web to locate prey and find deformities in their web. Though all spiders have venom, but only a few are dangerous to humans which mentioned in the below list.
