Arachnids
Part of Minibeasts and Creepy Crawlies Week
Now we are going to look a little closer at one of these types of arthropods, the Arachnids.
Watch our video about the Goliath Bird-eating Spider.
It's difficult to get a close view of the fangs in our video, so take a closer look at Goliath Bird-eating Spider Fangs.
Use the information in the videos to answer the Spider Anatomy Worksheet (PDF) - remember you don't have to print it out, you can draw your own!
You can then check your answers, Spider Anatomy Worksheet (Answers) (PDF).
Want to see how a Goliath Bird-eating Spider behaves in the wild? Watch this short clip with Steve Backnell from YouTube.
