Green
backed spider
How
much do you know about the arachnid family? Taking its name from the leading
scientist, Dr Lave this extraordinary arachnid now faces extinction. It is
believed that this fascinating breed of spider is over 200 years old!
Where
it lives
This
special species lives in the wonders of the Amazon rainforest, between the hot
climates of Argentina and Brazil. Here, temperatures can climb up to 50
Celsius. For this reason, the Green Backed spider can be found high up in the
Trapeze tree, which are over 65m high.
What
it looks like?
Covered
with green and black stripes and an unusual pattern, the arachnid beast. It is
so green it can camouflage in the tree. This is how it catches prey.
Why
the spider is endangered?
This
fantastic spider is on the brink of extinction. It is losing its home because
people are chopping down the trees of the amazing Amazon rainforest.
