Geographic Range

Spiders are everywhere! Baby spiders are so light, they can put out a line of silk and float away on a breeze, and so they are spread around the globe. Also, spiders that live in peoples' houses often get moved around by accident when people move. Spiders are found on every continent, and there are over 40,000 species known to science. That's not all of them though, there are thousands more we don't know about yet.
