Unknown Spotting ( Spider and Prey )

Spider and Prey: I walked outside, and I saw a spiders web, above the front door, on the door jam. This spiders web, had one small spider, resting on its web. It also had one insect, caught in the spiders web. This spider, was one eighth of an inch long. This spider, had light and dark colors to it. This spider, did not wrap silk around its prey. The body of a spider, is divided into two segments. A fused head and thorax ( cephalothorax ), and an abdomen. A narrow waist ( pedicel ), connects both parts. The pedicel, is the spiders waist. Spiders have eight jointed legs. Spiders do not have antennae or wings. Spiders have simple eyes ( ocelli ). All spiders are capable of producing silk. Spiders use specialized and sensitive hairs on there legs, to pick up scent, sounds, vibrations, and air currents. Spider legs, are made up of seven segments. A spiders jaw, has two fangs, that can inject poison. A spiders eyes, can only detect light and dark. A spiders spinnerets, are located at the tip of its abdomen. This is where the spiders silk is released. Spiders have a hard outer shell, which is called an exoskeleton. There are different types of spider webs. Some are: the sheet web, orb web, tangle web, funnel web, tubular web, and dome or tent web. Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Arachnida Order: Araneae. This spider was alive, and able to move, and able to hunt prey. This spider is to the left of the center, in this picture. The prey is to the right of the center, in this picture.
