Spiders (order Araneae) are arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs that are generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat.
Spiders have been the focus of stories and mythologies of various cultures for centuries. Uttu, the ancient Sumerian goddess of weaving, was envisioned as a spider spinning her web. Both Greek and Roman literature tells stories of people turning into spiders. Stories about the trickster-spider Anansi are prominent in the folktales of West Africa and the Caribbean. In some cultures, spiders have symbolized patience due to their hunting technique of setting webs and waiting for prey, as well as mischief and malice due to their venomous bites. Web-spinning also caused the association of the spider with creation myths, as they seem to have the ability to produce their own worlds. Dreamcatchers are depictions of spiderwebs.
