A spider is a member of the order Araneae , one of many orders within the class arachnid a, meaning it has a body consisting of two segments, a cephalothorax and an abdomen , as well as eight legs. All spiders are predator s that feed off insects , and some larger species have been known to catch small reptiles , birds , and amphibians Levi and Levi, 2002 .Until recently, insects and arachnids have not been considered for inclusion on threatened and endangered species lists. It was not until 1994 that most invertebrate s were even recognized as being just as vulnerable as other fauna . It is because of this that there are very few species of spiders listed as threatened or endangered and many are simply classified as undetermined http www.iucnredlist.org . Listed species While few organizations agree completely on which spiders are endangered or threatened, a few commonly listed species are the Spruce fir moss spider , the Dolloff cave spider , the Great raft spider , the Kauai cave wolf spider , the Katipo , and at a lower risk the Brachypelma smithi .

Mandibles are often simply referred to as jaws. Mandibles are present in the extant subphylum subphyla Myriapoda millipedes and others , Crustacean Crustacea and Hexapoda insects etc. . These groups make up the clade Mandibulata , which is currently believed to be the sister group to the rest of arthropods, the clade Arachnomorpha Chelicerata Trilobite Trilobita . Unlike the chelicerae of arachnid s, mandibles can often be used to chew food. Mandibulates also differ by having Antenna biology antennae , and also by having three distinct body regions head, thorax and abdomen the prosoma of chelicerates is not a fusion of head and thorax, although often called a cephalothorax .
