Spiders live just about everywhere. The only place spiders don't live is in Antarctica.
Spiders are a part of nature and also very scientific. Because they are all around they a great species to observe.
Whenever I saw the spider. I saw it trying to get a moth. The moth was trying to flap it's week and the spider would move away very quickly whenever the moth flapped it's wings.
My mom's camera is perfect for observing science and nature and other cool facts about science. Because it has a big lens it can zoom super close.
Spiders catch their prey inside a web of course. Forgotten webs are called cobwebs. I think that sometimes bugs get caught in cobwebs and leaves a tasty treat for other spiders that come around.
when an insect gets caught in the web some people might think it gets poisoned when it touches the web, but really it doesn't. The spider waits somewhere secret for an insect to fly into it and then it sense vibration once a bug is trapped.
It chases after the insect after it is caught in the web and it bites it's fangs into the insect and inject venom. The venom poisons and paralyses the bug. Our spider would crawl down to the moth and then run away and it did this six times to be exact until the spider finally got to the moths head and stuck the fangs in.
Spiders can't chew their prey instead they just drink the blood and juices from inside.
The next morning we observed that the moth was left all dried up.
A few hours later the moth was gone, but the spider was in a dark corner of the picnic table which was his hiding spot I think.
I hope your favorite animal becomes a spider because they are one of the most helpful animal on the planet because they kill mosquitos. I think it's a good thing we have a pet spider in our backyard.
bye bye.
