New Zealand Spiders


Room 11 have been finding out about spiders. We have been using the internet, books and making observations. Did you know that there are about 2500 different types of spiders in New Zealand!
Wow that's a lot.
How many different New Zealand spiders can you name?

Wow! Room 11 this is a cool blog. I have learnt heaps about creatures by reading your blog. I hate those white tail spiders. My wife screams when she sees them and I am sick of flushing them down the toilet.
Have a great day!!

Ekkkkk! That is one BIG daddy long legs room 11! I will let you in on a little secret - I also scream when I see a spider, just ask room 16 :)

Have you heard of the daddy long legs having the most powerful venom, but its fangs are too small to puncture the human skin? This is an old myth - that makes it not true - PHEW!
