It’s morning and you’re getting dressed. You’ve got socks on your feet and you’re putting on your shoes, but there’s something big and brown in your shoe and it’s moving … It’s a spider! Spiders live everywhere. You can find them in the desert, in caves, near rivers or on high mountains. Some spiders live in trees in forests and jungles. There are over 40,000 types of spiders and they can be tiny or huge. For example, the Patu digua of Colombia is smaller than an ant! Now, look at your hand. Are you looking? Well, some tarantulas are as large as your hand! In fact, a tarantula can measure 25 centimetres from leg to leg. Spiders are carnivores. They usually eat flies, mosquitoes and other insects but some large spiders can catch and eat birds, frogs, fish and lizards. Female spiders are usually bigger and stronger than the males. Male spiders must be careful because the females sometimes eat them! Spiders are amazing. They’re usually brown, grey or black, but some spiders are as colourful as butterflies. Spiders can move quickly and some can jump far. Water spiders can live under the water for months at a time. Many types of spiders live for one or two years, but some tarantulas can live for 25 years. So, the next time you see a spider in your shoe, remember – it’s amazing! T F 1.
