“Eeeks, a spider!” That is how most of us react on seeing the eight-legged arachnid, with its eight beady eyes. But why do we panic? Is it because it looks creepy or because we know it can sting?

There are innumerable species of spiders found in every continent except Antarctica and they have made their homes in all kinds of habitats. Let’s meet some of them.
