Garden Spiders and Crab Spiders: Similarieites and Differences

Students may think that all spiders act as the garden spider does, by spinning an elegant web, and patiently waiting for the prey to become entangled. The unique crab spider is an example of a spider that uses camouflage to its advantage. This spider does not spin a web, nor does it wrap up its prey with silk as we see the garden spider do. Students will learn that all spiders have eight legs and other common characteristics and behaviors.
