Do spiders have feelings?
Spiders aren’t social, so they don’t need the range of emotions that, for example, humans and dogs do. We can’t ask spiders how they feel, but I’m sure that they have simple and basic emotions. They can certainly get scared and stressed, and possibly feel happy and satisfied when they have caught food.
Are spiders intelligent?
Although these tiny arachnids have brains that could literally fit on the head of a pin, the work of Cross and other scientists suggests that they have capabilities we’d have no problem hailing as signs of intelligence if exhibited by animals with much larger brains, like dogs or human toddlers.
Do spiders actually bite people?
Spiders are blamed for all kinds of things that turn out to be skin infections or some other bug’s fault. Most don’t even have fangs long enough to break your skin. When they do bite, they’re typically harmless. In the U.S., only the black widow and brown recluse have venom strong enough to really hurt you.
Do spiders have a complete digestive system?
The spiders stomach acts as a pump that send food deeper into the spiders digestive system. The spiders mid gut bears most of its cec, where the nutrients is extracted from their food. At the end, most spiders convert nitrogenous bases into uric acid, which can be excreted as dry material.
Do all insects have a brain?
Yes, insects do have a brain, though it doesn’t play the same role as a humans brain does. The insect brain consists of three lobes, each responsible for a different part on the body. Insects process sensory information using all three lobes, which are comprised of clusters of neurons.
Do all spiders have hair on their bodies?
Spiders have trichobothria, fine hairs on their body that are critical to their survival. Since they don’t have ears, spiders rely on trichobothria to help them hear. The tiny hairs are super-sensitive, able to pick up air movement down to one ten billionth of a meter.
