Description :
Spiders are ancient animals with a history going back over 350 million years. All spiders are carnivorous and most eat small insects, but many will eat other spiders, sometimes even ones of their own species. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other group of organisms. Spiders are an important but generally poorly studied group of arthropods that play a significant role in the regulation of insect pests and other invertebrate populations in most ecosystems.
