Ogre-Faced Spider For those with a fear of spiders, the Ogre Faced Spider might seem like a terrifying critter to find in your backyard or your basement but I promise they look scarier than they really are!! Unless you are a bug. And they're about to eat you. 9. Money Spider The Money spider is part of a very large family called Linyphiidae which ironically has a lot of very small spiders! But what they lack in size they make up for in impressive sheet-like webs. So they are also known as the sheet spider. Although these spiders are common, measuring in at only 5mm in length, their big webs can capture big prey like many other web-spinners. 8. Tube Web Spiders Another species of spider with a unique web are Tube-Web Spiders, from the Segestriidae family. Different from other spiders, who usually have 8 eyes, this species only has 6, and they can also be recognized because their first three pairs of legs go forward. A nocturnal variety, they build their tube webs along the bases of trees, on the ground or sometimes in the cracks of rock walls or on the ends of broken branches. 7. Hobo Spiders Wondering how the Hobo Spider got its name? Would you believe it’s from hitching rides with humans along the highways of the Pacific Northwest? Light to medium brown, Hobo Spiders have a dark stripe down the center of their backs and are an oblong shape with longer hind spinnerets, which are used to spin silk. Most measure between 1 to 1 (¾) inches in diameter, with the males coming in slightly larger than the females. 6. Bowl & Doily Spider Even though the web of the Bowl & Doily Spider might look beautiful and delicate, it serves a very important purpose in the life of this small spider. A member of the Sheet Web family, the Bowl & Doily spider weaves a bowl-shaped web that sits on top of a flat sheet of lacy web that is used as cover. 5. Goliath Bird Eater Just hearing the name Goliath Bird Eater should give you an idea of how large this spider actually is. About the size of a small puppy, this is the biggest tarantula in the world, and are found deep in the rain forests of South America. This species uses the hairs on its legs and abdomen to sense vibrations on the ground or in the air. 4. Black Widow Silk The Black Widow might be one of the most feared species of spiders. It definitely has a reputation, especially for its venomous traits, but the spiders, which measure anywhere from 5 inches in females to about 1/3 of that size for males, have more going on for them than just their bite. 3. Golden Orb Spider The Golden Silk Spider may get some attention for its bright, vibrant color. But this species of orb spinner creates webs that are stronger than steel and tougher than Kevlar. Also known as the banana spider, the Golden Silk Orb Weaver has long legs in a brown or yellowish hue. With silk that is five times stronger than steel, tougher than Kevlar, and more flexible than nylon, the silk of the spider is actually incredibly lightweight. 2. Daddy Long Legs Anyone who spent any time camping in the wilderness has probably run across a Daddy Long Legs at one time or another. But scientists at the University of Trento in Italy found a way to inspire these spiders to produce webs that are even stronger than the ones they already spin. 1. Darwin’s Bark Spider Wondering which spider has the strongest spider web? Look no further than Darwin's Bark Spider. Not only is the silk of this spider large enough to span rivers, streams and lakes, silk from the Darwin's Bark Spider is more than twice as tough as any pre-described silk and more than 10 times stronger than Kevlar. #amazing #animals #originsexplained #katrina
