Spiders are interesting creatures that are (1) eight-legged. Ever seen a spider that has less than eight limbs as a result of injury or accident ? Probably not. Spiders can (2) grow a new leg if they lose one !

Guess how many eyes a spider has ? It ahs eight altogether. Not to worry, it does not have any problems looking at things.

Spiders can live anywhere, in (3) arid places or humid places, underground and in trees, as well as in our homes. Just because they live in our homes does not mean that these species of spiders can be (4) domesticated. In fact, there is no real success in domesticating them for industrial purposes. While we can collect precious silk from the mild and meek silkworms, we cannot do the same for spiders. We may start off with a dozen but we would probably end up with one at the end of the day. One would probably (5) annihilate the rest !
