Spiders are often encountered in our lives, some in old houses, others on plants, grass and trees. We have the impression that they should all be small. Today, let's take a look at seven of the world's largest spiders!
Brazilian Solomon pink bird-eating spider
Although they are known as bird-eating spiders, the Brazilian Salomon pink bird-eating spider is not too fond of eating birds. On the contrary, species such as insects, lizards, frogs, and mice are loved by them. This spider lives in the rainforest and can have legs up to 25 cm long. It has a charming brown body and light orange spines, and can even shoot prey with these spines, paralyzing it, which is a superb hunting technique.
Camel spiders
Camel spiders are also known as sun-sheltered spiders. Their name comes from their appearance, as they are said to look like camels. There are currently more than 1,000 known species of this in the world, ranging in size from a few millimeters to 300 millimeters. It is a completely predatory animal, usually eating insects, small lizards, and sometimes birds.
Purple tree bird-eating spider
It is famous for its bird-eating nature, which suggests that this spider belongs to a large body. As long as the body length exceeds 20 cm, you can be sure that you will accurately recognize it at first glance in a group of spiders. It is also loved by spider lovers, but it is not a large pet that everyone who is just starting out with spiders can accept. Although this spider can prey on birds, it is not yet strong enough to pose a threat to humans.
Crab spiders
They are called crab spiders because they can walk cross-border like crabs. This is a giant spider that appears in a flower. It does not form a net, its wisdom is hidden in the petals in search of food. Because there are no toxic needles or spikes, there is no danger to humans. But don't mix them with spider crabs, which have legs up to 4 meters long but belong to crustaceans.
Giant spiders
The giant spider is the world's first unique giant spider, if you count its giant, super oba and long legs. It is known for its extra-long and perfect body, with legs up to 30 cm long and body length up to 4.8 cm. Despite their huge size, their super-high speed and agility are the unique skills for which they became famous. Instead of relying on cobwebs like they wait for rabbits to catch their prey, they rely on their own speed to chase targets to catch their prey. This unique way of preying is where their name comes from.
Giant upper lake spider
It is a highly venomous cave-dwelling spider native to Taiwan. Although they were not as large as the largest spider at the time, the Grice bird spider, their maximum footspan could also reach 20 cm, which was considered a large spider.
Giant bird-eating spider
This spider can be considered the second largest spider in the world and the heaviest spider. It is the extra-long-legged Europa of the spider world, with legs up to 28 centimeters long and a weight of more than 170 grams. However, in the world of long legs, women are also highly valued, as women can live up to 15-25 years. Adult males are quickly sheltered with death and live up to 3-6 years.
Above is a list of the seven largest spider species in the world that I have compiled for you. You have to be careful when encountering them. Although some of them are non-toxic, even if they are not toxic, a bite can cause pain for several days. There are also poisonous spiders, so everyone must be careful outdoors.
