My Arachnid ( arak- nid )




A little while ago, I got a spider as a pet, to be exact it is an Orb Spider. In my eyes it is a beautiful creature, designed by God himself. I acquired this interesting pet by walking by the fence, and to my my surprise, I saw a giant spider! This one is around an inch long and an inch across including the legs. This spider is in the arachnid family, which includes scorpions, mites, and spiders. You can classify an arachnid by how many legs it's got and how many body sections, which is usually two. Spiders are not in the insect family because insects have six legs and three body sections. I take care of my spider by putting them in a terrarium and adding the kinds of things they would have in the wild. If you want to have a pet spider try to make it's habitat as realistic as possible. I even make it rain in his cage by dripping water on and in the cage. My spider very amazingly made a web the same way it would have in the wild and it's web works. Taking the advantage of this awesome thing: I feed flies to the spider and it catches the flies in the web and then attacks it, sometimes wraps it up and sucks it dry. I marvel at how God took time to make this small spider and it just ends up being a thing people run from when they see it.
