Spiders: They’re creepy, they’re creepy, and they’re definitely interesting. With around 50,000 known species worldwide, spiders have adapted to almost every environment on Earth, including deserts, caves, rainforests, and even underwater spaces. Whether they inspire fear or excite your senses, there’s more to these eight-legged mysteries than meets the eye.
As terrifying as they may seem — often appearing in horror movies and our nightmares — most spiders generally avoid humans and would rather run away than attack. In fact, spiders are some of nature’s most talented engineers, survivalists, and hunters. From their bizarre courtship rituals to their sophisticated hunting tactics, we can’t help but admire these adaptive arthropods.
