Spiders

There are over forty thousand species of spiders. Spiders are not actually insects they are arachnids. All arachnids have eight legs and two sections, the head and the abdomen. Towards the end of the abdomen there are these things called spinnerets that push out the silk, it has six mixtures to have the exact right stuff to be strong enough for the web. The silk is stronger than steel if there is a lot of it. There is this spider named the Orb spider which has golden silk and extra strong silk, it can catch birds in it but the bird is the main predator to the spiders. They make their web with first the diagonal strips then the sticky ones in the spiral.
