Question

Which spider live for two years without food​

Answer 1

Answer:

First of, spiders are cold blooded, or exothermic creatures. In cold blooded animals, body size is a good indicator of their metabolism. So, a small spider would have a slower metabolism than a large ball python, for example.

This is especially true for spiders, as they have a metabolism that’s about 50% the speed of other creatures around their size.

Additionally, spiders are carnivorous, so they get a lot more energy from their food than an herbivore would.It’s difficult to say why exactly tarantulas have this strange behavior. Sometimes it’s because they’re undergoing a lengthy molt, and other times it’s because they’re “anxious”… But most of the time it’s just what they do.

Some types of tarantulas are actually known to go on very long hunger strikes, such as Grammostola rosea..
