The Significance of Spider in Metaphysics

The significance of spiders in metaphysics: spiders are animals that predict happy events. They slide down the spider's web, which indicates good luck in the sky.

Spiders belong to arthropods. Spider's body is divided into chest and abdomen, and the two parts are connected by slender abdominal handles; There are a pair of pliers in front of the head, and the fangs of the poisonous gland duct are at both ends of the pliers; There are also four pairs of feet on both sides of the chest, and the toes have hard claws; Spiders have one eye, eight eyes, six eyes and four eyes. Wang Anshi's Zi Shuo records: Set a net on one side and then touch it, hence the name "spider".

Spiders are distributed all over China, mostly inhabiting eaves, corners and trees, forming a wheel-shaped web. Spider lifestyles can be divided into two categories, namely, hunting and sedentary. The safari type is a spider that hunts everywhere, preys, has no fixed place to live, does not form a web at all, does not dig holes and does not build nests, including Lepidoptera, Parapteridae and most tarantulas.

Spider's feeding habits

Spiders are omnivorous, mainly feeding on flies, other spiders, pods and other insects. Some spiders also feed on small animals. They are hungry and jumping spiders have good eyesight. They can dive into the water, catch prey within 30 cm, and then pounce. Crab spiders wait for prey on flowers similar in color to their bodies. Ground spiders dig holes in the soil, and the hole has a living cover, which is opened at night to prey on insects passing through the hole.

Funnel spiders weave funnel nets, which will cause vibration when catching insects; Spiders themselves live in silk tubes with narrow ends leading to plants or cracks. Most circular spiders weave the largest web with the least silk. The net is like an air filter, trapping insects with no filaments and weak flying ability. Although the net is complicated, it can be woven in 1 hour, usually before dawn.
