About 30,000 species of spiders have been recognized and many more are likely to be discovered. Each has adapted to a specific niche – the habitat it lives in, what it eats, and how it gets its meals. When we think of spiders, we may think of spider webs – but not all spiders build webs. We might also think of the nature of the habitat where and when they are found. Their food, how they obtain it, and the nature of their habitats vary – and it is that variation that has allowed development of the great diversity of spider species.
