Spider or arthropod facts

There are more than 35,000 species of spiders not all are poisonous to humans, some spider bites can cause localised swelling or irritation and on rare occasion’s death.

Spiders are carnivores and feed on insects, small animals and other spiders.

Most spiders are nocturnal as the day sets they will leave the protection of shelters and burrows in search of food, web-spinning spiders begin building webs to catch prey and as day breaks they then return to shelter.
