1. The Spider Web Can Stop the Plane

2. The Spider's Baby has a Camouflage Ability
When the spider is a baby, also can not be taken lightly. Although the size is very small, but this baby has the ability camouflage. Because the body has almost no color so it can not be known by the usual insects so the food.
3. Rarely Bite
Spiders include good animals. These animals include rarely biting and stinging. Unless you disturb him, the spider can reciprocate.
4. Build a Giant Net
Some spiders are able to build giant nets if they stay in the same location for long periods of time. For example, as a result of the floods in Pakistan in 2010, millions of spiders fled to the trees as they were trapped by flood waters. A number of large trees turned into a cocoon of spider webs because it took a long time to flood water receded.
Arachnologists and entomologists believe that giant nets can also be created as a result of the ballooning phenomenon. This happens when young spiders begin immigrating from one place to another. During the ballooning phenomenon, the spider will rise in altitude, with the stomach pointing upwards and releasing the silk thread into the air.
5. Some Spiders are Cannibals
Cannibalism is sometimes seen in spiders when scarce food sources. There is a species of spider who is willing to sacrifice himself to be eaten by a young spider just removed from the egg. However, in most cases, cannibalism occurs in sexual relationships. The female spider will eat a sexual partner (male) either before or after mating.
Researchers from Miami University in Ohio have found that the size of the male spider will determine whether it will be eaten or not by the female spider. Studies show that in one species of spider, Hogna helluo, male spiders smaller than females have an 80 percent chance of being eaten.
