Unveiling the Remarkable Abilities of 8 Intriguing Spider Species
| Jumping Peacock Spider is colorful compared to other spiders. While the female only has a brown belly and back, the male possesses extremely prominent colors such as orange, red, blue, green, yellow and black. This is a rather small spider. They are distributed in Queensland and New South Wales. |

| People call them peacock spiders because of their skillful dancing ability. When the male peacock spider sniffs the female, it initiates the mating ritual by lifting its legs high and performing a rhythmic contraction and expansion of its abdomen, like dancing to a tune. Meanwhile, the females will consider the male’s color, movements and movements to decide whether to mate or not. After an erotic session, the male will continue his dance with other females. In fact, they can reach multiple mates at once. |

| When it comes to venomous spiders, people often refer to brown recluse spiders or redback spiders. However, the 2007 Guinness World Records program rated the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria) as the most venomous spider in the world. They are also called banana spiders because they often live on banana leaves. While other spiders spin webs to trap their prey, banana spiders hunt on the ground, finding and attacking their prey directly. They are usually active at night and are very aggressive. Their venom strongly affects the nervous system, causing paralysis of the respiratory organs, causing suffocation and death. In addition, their venom can make men impotent. |

| Bird droppings spider (Celaenia excavata), is one of the spiders with unique and effective camouflage abilities in the animal world. They camouflage by shrinking their body like a lump of bird droppings to escape the sight of predators such as birds and wasps. The spikes on the spider’s body make them resemble bird droppings as they roll their bodies. In addition, their bodies also give off an unpleasant odor. |
 |
| Golden silk orb-weaver (Nephila clavipes), or giant spider, is the second largest spider in the world. Females are larger in size than males. They are venomous and long-legged spiders. However, the outstanding feature of the Nephila spider is the ability to spread very thick and solid webs to hunt. The length of each spider web can be up to nearly 2 m. The tiny insects certainly couldn’t escape their spider webs. Even small snakes or birds fall prey to them. Therefore, they are also called snake-eating spiders. In addition, male Nepila spiders must massage their mate when they are tired because when the females can’t stay calm, they will either tear the male immediately or roll the male carcass to eat. |

| The Chilean rose tarantula spider (Grammostola rosea) is the most common spider in the tarantula family. They are gentle and unique, making them suitable for pets. This species has a lot of hair, their average size is about 14-15 cm. They are native to the desert regions of Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. |

| Goliath birdeater tarantula (Theraphosa blondi) is the largest spider in the world. They belong to the family Taranutla. Recently, an American scientist has just discovered a Goliath birdeater in the forest of South America. He said the Goliath spider weighs about 170 grams, with a leg length of up to 30 cm, they are the size of a puppy and the fangs are very powerful. To protect themselves, they emit a very annoying hiss and launch venomous spines at their predators, causing pain and itching. Being omnivores, they catch insects, snakes, and lizards. |
 |
| Giant Huntsman spider (Heterpoda maxima), is a species of spider with long legs. They are among the largest spiders in the world. The body is not large, but they possess 8 very long legs. The length of each leg is up to 30 cm. Each leg has sharp spikes. The long legs help them move quickly and catch prey easily. |
 |
| Phidippus audax is a North American jumping spider, capable of jumping from tree to tree. They are dangerous predators with bright eyes and the ability to jump 50 times their body length. The average length of an adult spider is between 13 and 30 mm. They prefer to crawl to hunt rather than spin silk to ambush their prey. Their webs only serve to lay eggs or hide. |
