Silk Shooters

     What incredibly intriguing animal shoots silk from its spinnerets? Creepy and complex, this unique creature is a spider. Varying in shape and size, different species of spiders range from as small as a poppy seed to as large as a dinner plate. These fascinating predators possess eight legs, unlike most insects that get by on six. Spiders use their spinnerets to eject webs, which help them capture their prey. Their diet mainly consists of insects, though they occasionally feast on other small creatures. Spiders, part of the arachnid family, live in almost every habitat except for the polar regions, oceans, and high mountains. They are remarkable, with their intricate webs, skillful hunting techniques, and the ability to adapt to almost any environment on Earth.
