Page 11 - Spider (Garden Minibeasts Up Close)

A jumping spider has two big eyes and
six smaller ones, including four at
the side of its head.

Spiders also have sensitive bristles on their legs
that work in a similar way to ears. These pick up tiny

vibrations and air movements. They also have other

sensors that pick up scents drifting in the air.
