Facts about Spiders
1. Spiders are arthropods, like insects – they have an exoskeleton that is on the outside of their body instead of the inside (unlike humans).
2. There are around 40,000 known species of spiders.
3. There are a few main differences between spiders and insects, and one of these is the number of legs – all spiders have eight legs.
4. Spider bodies are made up of two main parts – the cephalothorax and the abdomen.
5. Spiders create silk from spinneret glands in their abdomen.

9. Not all spiders catch their prey in webs – some hide and wait for insects to come by.
10. Spiders lay eggs, and store them in an egg sac to keep them safe.

Huntsman Spiders
Despite their often large and hairy appearance, huntsman spiders are not considered to be dangerous spiders. As with most spiders, they do possess venom, and a bite may cause some ill effects. However, they are quite reluctant to bite, and will usually try to run away rather than be aggressive. In houses they perform a useful role as natural pest controllers.
Some people may think of huntsman spiders as ‘tarantulas’. However, they are not related to the large hairy ground dwelling spiders that are normally called tarantulas. Both huntsman spiders and tarantulas are often portrayed as being dangerous and scary. This usually is the case in films or stories that deliberately present spiders in a frightening and unrealistic way. If you feel frightened of huntsman spiders because of this, perhaps you might like to learn more about their true habits and biology. In this way you might be able to reduce your fears

Habitat
Spiders live in almost every habitat on earth. The only places where there are no spiders are the Polar Regions, the highest mountains and the oceans. A few spider species have invaded the ocean’s edge, living in the rock and coral crevices of the intertidal zone
