Everything is connected in our complex and amazing natural world.
               

                    

                          There are approximately 38,000 known species of spiders. Scientists believe there                                are probably as many more to be discovered.  All spiders spin silk, but not all                                         spiders spin webs.   

                          When a spider travels, it always has four legs touching the ground and four legs off                               the ground at any given moment. 

     

Mother spiders can lay as many as 3,000 eggs at one time. Baby spiders are called spiderlings. While most mother spiders do not stay with their babies, the wolf spiders carry their babies on their backs.
