The Life of A Spider

Spiders can live for different amounts of time. Most spiders live about a year, but tarantulas can live up to 20 years!
The lifespan of a spider depends on its species and its environment. Spiders usually have a shorter life than humans, but they can still do many important things in their lifetime
The oldest spider to have ever lived was a female trapdoor spider in captivity. She lived to be 43 years old before a spider wasp killed her. Most female trapdoor spiders die by the time they're 25 years old.
