The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again

The Tale of Little Miss Muffet

As if spiders didn’t frighten us enough as children when we heard how one chased Little Miss Muffet away as she tried to eat her curds and whey, our fear was heightened in 2001 with the grade B monster movie Arachnid in which a giant killer spider menaces the survivors of a plane crash. Fortunately for the survivors, the spider loses when it falls onto a stalagmite.

Spiders are arthropods called arachnids. There are some 34,000 species belonging to about 105 families, although some specialists in the study of arachnids estimate that only 20 percent of spider species have been described, which means that there may be as many as 170,000 spider species.
