- A Comb Footed spider has bristles like a comb on its hind legs. It combs out the silk; when an insect flies into the web, it can quickly silk-wrap its food before the victim escapes.
- The Golden Orb-Weaver spider most often lives in the garden and is harmless to people.
- The female spider is about six times larger than the male.
- The St. Andrew’s Cross spider makes zigzag bars that form an X over the web. These bars help strengthen the web.
- The Wraparound spider, with its broad, flat abdomens, looks like a broken tree twig; this helps it hide during the day. At night, it spins an orb web to catch insects.
- Spiders can go without food for months.
- The Dewdrop spider and other small spiders do not build a web but live near an orb web and eat the remains of left over insects.
