Great photos and very nice information, but may I tell you that spiders are not part of the order of insects at all..... Show moreGreat photos and very nice information, but may I tell you that spiders are not part of the order of insects at all..
A little clarification: Spiders are wrongly considered insects by many. However, there are many differences to be observed.. For example, spiders have four pairs of running legs and not three pairs like insects.. The body consists of only two parts (head chest and rear body), while that of insects consists of three parts..
Spiders are related to haywagons (which do not belong to the spiders themselves!) , mites, ticks and scorpions. These all belong to the class of arachnids; insects form a separate class.. Arachnids and insects are both part of the stem of the arthropods, along with other classes..
Spiders have existed for some 400 million years, so occurred before dinosaurs dominated the Earth..
