8 Legged Beasts!

I am learning to identify key ideas and use them to write an information report.

Spiders are part of the Arachnid family. They come in different shapes and sizes but all in common, they all have 8 legs.
Not all spiders have a venomous bite. By injecting fangs into their victim, and releasing venom that's how they release their toxin to kill or warn prey. The Brazilian Wandering Spider is the most deadliest of all the Arachnids. Their bite can cause severe pain, which is enough to kill a full grown elephant. Spiders never attack unless threatened. Standing and showing their fangs, is a way of defense.

The biggest spider is the Goliath Birdeater. They eat not just birds but larger animals their size. Some female spiders can lay over 4000 eggs during birth. The special feature on a spider is that, they have hairs on their body, which can sense any movement.

There are over 40,000 species of spiders. Spiders can be located in every continent except Antarctica. They all have a vital part in the eco-systm.
