I really love spiders, in fact I study them for a living, Are there any cool facts that you would like to know about them? 
I'm actually kind of scared of them. So, anything you could tell me to convince me they're interesting would be great!
Well if it makes you feel any better they are not like insects, spiders dont have antennae. which often scares people when they look at other insects. 
Yeah, I guess that helps a little. Are there any popular, more well-known spiders I should know about?
Well there are at least 45,700 different spider species, and only 113 families have been recorded by taxonomists. But my favorite is the Tarantula because they are so docile. 
Jesus, that's a lot of spiders. I might have been better off not knowing that! But that's still cool. What else do you know about spiders?
Haha, Well Spiders can be found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and they have become established in nearly every habitat with the exceptions of air and sea colonization.
I see. Well this has all been terribly interesting. Do they face any problems? Or do they have any predators? Or what do they like to eat?  
Spiders generally have no predators, But some birds will gladly eat them for a snack, And they all eat other insects as they are purely carnivorous. 
Ah, I see. This is great! I'm glad you're telling me things. Anything you can send me off with?
