Spiders are members of the order Araneae and comprise over 111 families, with more than 40,000 species, only 200 or so actually posing a danger to humans, and are found all over the world.

Some species of spiders are kept as pets, though there are hundreds of thousands kept as preserved specimens around the world. All spiders produce silk though not all spin webs, and all spiders have eight legs, though some use their front legs to mimic the feelers of ants. Most spiders have eight eyes and often their arrangement is used to classify them scientifically.

Female spiders produce eggs which are bound in silken packets called egg sacs, and often procreation occurs only after elaborate mating rituals, with sometimes fatal consequences for the male. 		Related Links
