Spider
Some spiders are as big as 11 inches wide. The Goliath Birdeater Tarantula from South America has been known to be 10-11 inches wide. Even though it is so big, the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula is not dangerous to humans. Unlike humans, spiders do not have a nose or ears, however, their body is covered with tiny hairs. These hairs are able to sense vibrations, touch, and sounds. For example, the hairs can sense the tiny footsteps of an insect coming closer. The majority of spiders will only live for a year or two, some tarantulas can live to be 30 years old. The spitting spider, a small spider that could be living in your basement, can catch its prey through spitting. It can "send gummy glue in a zigzag pattern that falls across its prey like strapping tape." While many spiders only lay a few eggs, some can lay up to 2000. The wolf spider will carry her young on her back for a few days. In the 1970's, P.N. Witt, a spiderologist and other scientists sent spiders into space on Skylab, a space station. They wanted to see how spiders would build their webs without any gravity. Even though they had complete weightlessness, they still built normal webs. The spider silk found in webs is stronger than steel wire of the same thickness. It is also stretchier than rubber or nylon. Lots of people have attempted to use spiders to make fabric/cloth, however it would take over 5000 spiders to make enough cloth for one dress.
