Hello everyone, in today's post I will share with you these eight facts that you may not have known about spiders and I didn't know until I went to a friend who deals with spiders, he raises them and has the largest collection with spiders and venomous ones. poisonous.
Before I share with you what I learned I want to mention that I am very afraid of spiders if I find myself near a spider and if I see it I immediately faint when someone is afraid of spiders it is called if you did not know Arachnophobia - fear of spiders .
This post can help you learn more about spiders if you didn't already know, so let's start by reading these eight facts carefully.
SPIDER are interesting animals and are increasingly being chosen for pets. But when it comes to spiders, there are a large number of misconceptions that have spread among humans as true, and which are also the reason why people are afraid of spiders. Whether you are an expert on spiders or just starting to learn about them in order to have them as pets in the future, we bring you a few truths about spiders that will enrich your knowledge.
1. Spiders cannot digest solid food. On the lower abdomen, spiders produce digestive enzymes that they release into the body of prey. After enzymes break down the body of prey, the spider sucks in nutrient fluid and enzymes that the body then processes as food.
2. All spiders in the world, without exception, produce venom. The strength of the venom depends on the type of spider, and varies from those dangerous and heavy venoms to those almost harmless that affect the smallest possible prey.
3. Spiders are carnivorous predators and actively hunt prey.
4. All types of spiders produce silk that you see as part of a web. But it’s not just used for that, because some spiders don’t make webs at all. Silk is used to capture prey, make nests, protect eggs, for shelter and as part of mating rituals.
5. Not all spiders use a web to catch prey. Some spiders simply wait for their prey hidden, until they seize the opportunity to attack, while others chase their prey.
6. Life is hard for male spiders. Female spiders often eat males and not just after mating.
7. Spiders move using muscles and blood pressure to move their long legs.
8. Spiders lay their eggs in a layer of silk and then cover them with extra layers, until they make an egg bag. Some spiders produce silk that adapts to the color of the substrate on which it is located, effectively camouflaging the eggs and protecting them from predators and danger.
That's what I learned about spiders from my friend who has been breeding spiders for 15 years, I hope you have learned something new about the facts of spiders.
Thank you for reading until the next post.
