  • Worms, Leeches
Worm, any of various unrelated invertebrate animals that typically have soft, slender, elongated bodies. The major groups of worms include various species of flatworm, segmented worm, ribbon worm, spiny-headed worm, roundworm, pinworm and others. Worms typically have an elongated, tube-like body, usually rather cylindrical, flattened, or leaflike in shape and often without appendages. They vary in size from less than 1 mm in certain nematodes to more than 30 m in certain ribbon worms. Worms are universal in distribution, occurring in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. Some types of worms are parasitic, others are free-living. From a human perspective, worms are important as soil conditioners and as parasites of people and domestic animals and of crops. Ecologically, worms form an important link in the food chains in virtually all ecosystems of the world. Leech is a type of segment worm that lives in wet places and fastens itself onto the bodies of humans and animals to feed on their blood.

  • Spiders
Spider is any of more than 46,700 species that differ from insects in having eight legs rather than six and in having the body divided into two parts rather than three. The use of silk is highly developed among spiders. All spiders are predators, feeding almost entirely on insects. Some spiders are active hunters that chase and overpower their prey. These typically have a well-developed sense of touch or sight. Other spiders instead weave silk snares, or webs, to capture prey. One of the largest spiders are tarantulas.
