Venom and bites: myths vs facts
Separate spider-bite myths from real-world facts in this mixed-difficulty quiz. You’ll tackle common misconceptions about venom, symptoms, and what actually helps after a bite. Each question is multiple-choice, so you can learn quickly and correct false “rules” you may have heard.

Spider facts and context
Spiders are arachnids, not insects: they have two main body sections and typically eight legs, and many species use silk for more than just webs.
Silk can be used for egg sacs, safety lines, and even ballooning—where tiny spiders ride air currents to spread to new areas.
Tips for better scores
- Look for key anatomy terms like cephalothorax, abdomen, and spinnerets
- Use habitat clues (indoors, gardens, forests, deserts) to narrow options
- Remember that venom is common, but medically significant bites are rare
- Pay attention to web types: orb, funnel, sheet, or no web at all
- Separate “spider look-alikes” from true spiders by counting legs and body segments
