Description of the spider
Spiders have lived on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. During this period, their appearance has hardly changed, and the modern spider has the same appearance as its distant ancestor who lived in the Mesozoic era.
These creatures are carnivorous, they get all necessary substances for life by eating captured insects. The vast majority of species develop spider webs and hunt with the help of spider webs woven from them.
Body Structure
The body structure of spiders is somewhat similar to some insects. The thorax and abdomen are connected by a thin tube - a leg. There is a groove on the thorax which divides the head of the spider and the thorax.
On the side of the head there are eyes and two pairs of limbs converted into touch and feeding organs, between which there is a mouth designed for sucking.
Spiders have an external skeleton. The spider's body is covered with chitin. There are 4 pairs of legs on either side of the thorax, each consisting of 7 segments. This anatomy is typical of all spiders, regardless of species.
Circulation and respiration
Spiders have an open circulatory system. It consists of a two-chambered heart and blood vessels that open directly into the body cavity. The spider's blood is blue, so it is colored with hemocyanin, an analog of hemoglobin.
The respiratory organs of spiders are the lung sacs and the trachea. The former are thin lamellae, the latter - thin tubes through which oxygen flows from the respiratory sacs to the tissues of the internal organs.
Central nervous system
The spider's nervous system is the brain, which consists of two nerve nodes and endings that diverge to the senses and internal organs.
The brain is located in the cephalic thorax, occupying up to 30% of its volume.
Transmission of nerve impulses is very fast, so arthropods show excellent reactions.
Sensory organs
The main organ with the help of which spiders orient in surrounding space is eyes. Depending on the species there can be from 2 to 12 of them. Vision of a spider depends on its environment.
So, people living in dark caves are practically blind, and, for example, jumping spiders can perfectly see and even distinguish colors.
Small sensitive hairs on arthropod legs are responsible for touch, smell and hearing. Spiders do not have ears.
Movement
Spiders move on the surface with 4 pairs of legs. There are varieties that can move in the water. They do this with special hairs on their legs that allow them to glide across the surface of the water.
Nutrition of spiders
All spiders are predators. They feed mainly on insects. Spiders can eat:
- flies;
- mosquitoes;
- bugs;
- butterflies;
- crickets;
- grasshoppers;
- locusts.
Some spiders eat bugs, worms, and snails. As a rule, a spider hunts with the help of a web woven from it.
A web of thin but very strong and sticky threads is usually stretched vertically (some species place it horizontally, others weave it in a funnel shape) between trees, plant stems and grasses.
When the prey enters the trap, the predator injects a paralyzing poison into its body, as well as digestive juice, which devours the victim from the inside. After waiting for some time, the spider sucks out the insects of the insect.
Regular feeding is necessary only for the growing young. An adult spider can live without food for days, weeks or even months.
Breeding peculiarities
Spiders reproduce sexually. In many species, after mating, the female eats the male, providing the nutrients necessary for egg formation.
The fertilized female lays eggs. Some species lie in the ground, but most build sturdy cocoons of webbing.
Small spiders are born fully formed. During development, they die several times until they become sexually mature adults.
Coloration
Spiders have only 3 pigments (yellow, red, blue) that determine the coloration of the body and limbs. Their combinations give spiders different shades, the most common of which is brown.
The scales found on the body of many species can reflect or refract light, as a result of which the spider changes color depending on the light.
