A spider is not an insect. Although spiders and insects are animals without backbones, they are very different. Spiders have eight legs. Most spiders have eight eyes and two body parts. The front of a spider is called the cephalothorax. This is the head and the thorax combined. The second part is the abdomen. Spiders inject poisonous venom which paralyzes or kills their prey. Because they have no teeth, a spider releases digestive juices into the victim, turning the insides of their prey into liquid. Then, the spider is able to suck the victim just like you would suck liquid from a straw. Kids will learn all about these helpful creatures with catchy music and fun lyrics in this fabulous audiobook.
