Lesson 26 Observation

Jumping Spiders and Trapdoor Spiders Observation

When a trapdoor spider’s prey gets too close to their home they grab them and then rip them open. They prefer to live in warm climates and they like to eat fish and other insects. Trapdoor spiders hate citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges. Their most common predators are wasps, scorpions, birds, centipedes, and flies. 

Jumping spiders lock on their prey and wait for them to land nearby. Then they jump really far and eat their prey. They eat other spiders and insects their size. Jumping spiders hate citrus fruit, just like trapdoor spiders. They commonly eat small birds, frogs, toads, and lizards.
