Often confused as insects (despite having no antennae) spiders, though they are also members of the Arthropod phylum, belong to the largest order of Arachnids. In fact, as of 2008, a massive 43,678 spider species have been recorded (that’s a lot of legs!!!!). As you know, each spider has eight legs, and if you look close enough you’ll notice that their mouthparts are primed with tiny fangs. Bizarrely enough I suffer from Arachnophobia, but even I have to admit that this diverse group of creatures are absolutely fascinating and I do hope you will join me for next 12 weeks as I test your spidey senses.Have fun,ClaireMYSTERY SPIDER QUIZ #5Clue: Get hiss, I have six eyes.
Well the hiss part sounds like a snake so I'm going for Snake-back spider which has 6 legs LOL

So far the Snake-back is the only one I can think of that fits,but MrsT's clues can be quite crafty so tomorrows clue may change my mind

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Crafty? Me?
I always thought that 6 legged spiders were ones that had been damaged.
How full of cold was I on Monday, that should say six EYES, not legs. Silly MrsT.
Ok MrsT I will now go for the Assassin Spider (Sicarius hahn)
