제목 : What is a Spider

가수 : Kim Mitzo Thompson

Did you know that eight legs a spider has?

They are not insects, but in a special class.

For they are called arachnids with two body parts.

How can we tell these animals apart?

Now let’s look at a spider, and you will see

that a spider has eight eyes, but he has no wings.

A cephalothorax and the abdomen

are parts of our little spider friend.

Listen, and I’ll tell you just how a spider eats.

Once the prey is captured, the meal won’t retreat

for venom is injected. The prey is paralyzed,

then quickly the prey becomes liquidized.

Now, spiders they have no teeth with which to eat.

Like sucking from a straw, their meal becomes a treat.

It might take several hours just to liquefy a fly,

but well worth the wait for the spider’s appetite.

Silk glands in the abdomen a spider will rely on.

Although they all don’t spin webs, but silk they all supply.

Spiders are important, for they prey on insect pests

that damage crops and do things that farmers detest.
