Amazing facts about Spiders you didn't know all these days!

Hey buds, how is lockdown going for everyone. Well it's getting extended and boring.  But we'll have to tolerate and engage ourselves in some work. So, I've brought some amazing facts about spiders for u to know more about Arachnology. Maybe you knew it before.Okay let's checkout the facts...

1. Spiders have a total of eight legs. I know there's nothing special about it, but the interesting thing is that when a spider travels, it always has four legs touching the ground and four off the ground at any given moment.

2. Bagheera is the only vegetarian spider till now according to the scientists.

3. We all know that Marvel comics Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes. In the comics he is bitten by a radioactive spider and attains supernatural powers. This spider actually exists in real in this animal planet but they are mentioned incorrectly as an insect in the Spider-Man movies.  But don't ever try and get bitten by one because it has no effect on humans.

4.Spiders have blue blood. In humans, oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, a molecule that contains iron and gives blood its red color. In spiders, oxygen is bound to hemocyanin, a molecule that contains copper rather than iron.     

5.The venom of the black widow spider attacks nerves by blocking their signals to the muscles, which causes the muscles to contract repeatedly and often painfully. Black widow bites can also cause other nerve-related problems, such as high blood pressure, restlessness, and severe facial spasms.

6.Web-weaving spiders have two or three claws at the tip of each leg that they use to swing from strand to strand without getting stuck in the sticky part of their web. Additionally, a spider’s body has a special oily substance that keeps it from getting stuck in its web.

7. All spiders spin silk, but not all spiders spin webs.

8. The world’s biggest spider is the goliath spider (Theraphosa blondi). It can grow up to 11 inches wide, and its fangs are up to one inch long. It hunts frogs, lizards, mice, and even small snakes and young birds.

9. The most venomous spider in the world is the Brazilian Wandering Spider, or the banana spider. This aggressive spider wanders the forest floors of Central and South America looking for food. Just a small amount of venom is enough to kill a human.The bite of the Brazilian wandering spider can cause long and painful erections, as well as other symptoms, in human males.

10. Spiders have inspired scientists to make space robots. For example, the “Spidernaut” is a mechanical spider that is designed to crawl over the outside of a spacecraft to carry out repairs. Its weight is spread evenly over its eight legs to avoid damaging the surface of the spacecraft. Scientists have also designed miniature pieces of equipment with parts that move just like a spider’s leg.

  • 11. The silk that comes out of the spider’s spinneret is liquid, but it hardens as soon as it comes in contact with air. Some spiders have up to seven types of silk glands, each creating a different type of silk—such as smooth, sticky, dry, or stretchy.
  • 12. The silk in a spider’s web is five times stronger than a strand of steel that is the same thickness. A web made of strands of spider silk as thick as a pencil could stop a Boeing 747 jumbo jet in flight. Scientists still cannot replicate the strength and elasticity of a spider’s silk.

    Save the Girl Child.....

     "When you kill a girl, You kill many others"     Girls are an important part of the society. In fact 50% of the society. But still the value and worth of girl children is considered less. They are an integral and inseparable part of the living system.      When they are so much important, why are they victims of female foeticide, gender discrimination, and many more? Around one-million girls are killed every year irrespective of their age. The practice of infanticides has been in use since ancient times.     If the boy-girl ratio is getting imbalanced, soon girls will vanish from the face of the earth and men will struggle leading lives without them. We people whether girls or boys should create awareness in society and put an end to this. Girls are equal like boys.    Daughters are a precious gift  to the families. They should not be killed, but instead should be saved from these evil practices and society. Sagana Follow Quote Me ...
