These two part is connected by a very thin joint called as pedicle or pedicellus. The legs is attached on the front part (cephalothorax). Their eyes are also located on this body part. Each species of spiders have different number of eyes. Some of them have a pair of eyes and some others have four pair of eyes. Some spiders have large fangs called as chelicera, which help them to inject their venom to their enemy. Spiders do not have mouth or teeth to chew the food, but they have a body part that allow them to suck liquid from the body of their enemy. They have a gland called as “the spinneret” which allow them to produce sticky webs. They can use this sticky webs to trap the prey.
