Different spider species create various types of web structures, from simple circles to intricate triangles and spirals. These webs can be not only beautiful but also part of a complex communication system among spiders.
Spiders are also known for their diversity in shapes and sizes. They can be tiny or huge, capable of intimidating anyone with their impressive appearance. Most spiders have eight legs and eight eyes, which help them catch prey and navigate their surroundings.
