Most spiders have either six or eight eyes.Most spiders have fangs, through which venom is ejected. Spiders are not insects. Insects have three body parts and six legs.
Spiders have eight legs and two body parts, the abdomen and the thorax.Fear of spiders is called Arachnophobia. It is one of the most common fears among humans.Spiders have silk spinning glands called spinnerets, at the tip of their abdomen.Only the female black widow spider has a poisonous bite.
The male spider's venom is not poisonous and it does not attack its prey.
Some male spiders pluck their cobwebs like a guitar, to attract female spiders. Spiders usually have eight eyes, but still they cannot see that well.Most spiders are very nearsighted. To make up for this, they use the hair on their body to feel their way around and to sense when other animals are near.
Webs get dirty and torn, so lots of spiders make a new one every day. Webs get dirty and torn, so lots of spiders make a new one every day. Do not miss the old, however --they roll it up into a ball and eat it!

It is really amazing just as it has fallen under the topic AMAZING FACTS!Though it has six or eight eyes,it is nearsighted and can't see so well! Can I guess why so? No no, I can't...,cos you may burst into laughter!
One thing you are MISSING is what a spider is if not an insect.
Let me add something here about SPIDER, if you don't mind:
*Spider is an arachnid that belongs to a class ARACHNIDA under ARTHROPODA.
*Any air-breathing arthropod is also known as an INSECT, and so is a spider, though it is different from those having general characteristics of insects!
So, what about calling it a SPECIAL INSECT or UNIQUE INSECT?
