A Little Spider

Here is something for all Arachnoid lovers out there - just a little spider I captured (on camera) at my country villa at end of September.







Here is the little I know re: spiders off the top of my head

If I make a mistake, readers will correct me. 

Spiders are not reptiles, of course, but neither are they are insects, but arachnids

What's interesting is they have multiple eyes, in the photo above you can count 7, and one more probably at the bottom, eight in total.

Unlike almost all others creatures, with spiders food is digested outside the body, not inside.

Digestive juices are injected into the victim without the latter's permission after it is subdued, and the prey is digested by itself, and after the completion of the digestion process, all is there left to do is to suck out the already prepared nutrient slurry. 

Simple and convenient and not devoid of originality. 

In addition, there are advantages as there are no problems with digestion to face, no abdominal pains, no bloating, indigestion, flatulence, and no diseases of the excretory system, no bile, spleen or liver to look after, etc.
