Spiders typically have eight legs. Spiders' legs are made up of seven segments. Starting from the body end, these are the coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, metatarsus and tarsus and in most cases skinny in appearance. Spiders usually build their webs in dark corners where they find insects. The house spiders are very common and can be found in homes as well as commercial businesses all year long. They vary greatly in colors, shapes and sizes. These creatures are mostly nocturnal and hunt their pray at night. Spiders are very adaptable and can be found in just about any habitat outdoors as well as indoors, however, they usually look for warmth and humid places to hide and can invade homes and businesses in the fall.
