Spiders are the largest group of arachnids.
Over 35,000 are identified species and 3,000 live in North America. Many spiders, as with many insects, await identification. Spiders are not insects, but like insects can be found any where - on the ground, among grasses, under rocks, in trees, plants and even on water. They can be recognized by 4 pairs or 7 segmented legs. Most spiders have 8 eyes.
