“Unveil the Chilling Secrets: 10 Bone-Chilling Spider Facts That Will Leave You Breathless!”
As one of the most diversified living creatures in the world, spiders reside in dry climates, tropical regions, rainforests, wetlands, in big cities, and even in your own home. And as humans encroach on their natural habitats, spiders are adjusting to even more diverse locations.
Almost All Spiders Are Venomous
Here’s the bad news if you’re frightened of spiders: almost every spider has venom glands. They use this poison in order to defend themselves or hunt for food.
However, not all spiders bite or have venom that can harm humans. In fact, only around 25% do. And many types of spiders don’t have fangs that are large enough to puncture human skin. Although some spiders do bite, it’s usually when they’re feeling threatened or surprised — so leave them alone!
Spiders Are Growing Larger Due To Climate Change
A 2009 study published in Biology Letters showed that a warmer Arctic, with longer summers and earlier springs, is leading wolf spiders in the region to grow larger. This is because there’s plenty of food for them to eat during the warm months, and also, fewer spiders will perish.
Another effect of climate change on spiders: since larger spiders can produce more offspring, there are also going to be more spiders. More huge spiders. We’re not saying it’s time to prepare for a spider invasion just yet, though.
