Spiders are among the most successful and widely feared predators in the entire animal kingdom, found in nearly every terrestrial habitat on Earth and playing a genuinely vital ecological role as natural pest controllers. Despite the often negative public perception spiders receive, they are responsible for some of the most extraordinary engineering and biological achievements found anywhere in nature, from silk stronger than steel to remarkably sophisticated hunting strategies. Here are the most amazing spider facts that reveal the true engineering genius hiding behind those eight legs! Did you know? Spider silk is, gram for gram, stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar, the material used in bulletproof vests.
