Bird-eating spider's trap

2023-05-02 21:01:20 133

The bird-eating spider is a giant spider in the tropics. Its "giant" shape lies in its body, which is usually 5 cm long, and some can even reach 9 cm; and its large appetite, which allows it to eat birds. . Spiders rely on their webs to catch food. If a bird-eating spider wants to eat small birds, its web is extraordinary.


Bird-eating spiders build webs between the branches of the woods. This spider web is very strong and can withstand a weight of 300 grams. Bird-eating spiders lay a dragnet in the forest, trapping not only birds but also small frogs. Bird-eating spiders secrete venom to kill small animals caught in the trap, and then enjoy it slowly. Because the bird-eating spider's web is large and strong, some small insects and small lizards will inevitably fall into the web. At this time, the bird-eating spider's appetite is huge, and it will eat all the prey that enters the web.


Bird-eating spiders are mostly active at night and always hide in caves or tree roots during the day. Now this kind of bird-eating spider no longer only lives in tropical forests, some of them have traveled around the world with precious tropical trees shipped to all over the world.
