    Spiders: What you need to know

    Identifying Characteristics

    • Every spider has 8 legs
    • Their bodies are always separated into two distinct parts
    • They are mostly found in areas that are moist, though some prefer dry areas

    Active Season

    • Spider eggs are laid in a mass, up to 3,000 at a time
    • Peak seasons are Spring through Fall, but can be seen indoors year-round
    • Spiders feed on smaller insects, so naturally they are more prevalent when insects are most active, which is during warmer months

    Interesting Facts

    • After mating the female tends to kill and eat the male. This is mutual, because it ensures the females healthy gestation
    • They breathe through a pair of respiratory organs composed of many fine leaves situated in the abdomen, called book lungs
    • Spiders are known as “nature’s exterminators” because they prey on many insects that people generally dislike (flies, mosquitoes, etc.)

    Cause for Concern

    • Some spiders do bite but this is irregular and generally are only minor bites and are not dangerous
    • Most people find spiders unsightly and do not enjoy having them around, especially indoors
