Spiders are highly adaptable and can survive for extended periods without food. Depending on the species, spiders can go weeks to months without eating. Survival Time Without Food Small house spiders can typically survive for 1-2 months without food, while larger species like tarantulas can last several months to over a year. Factors such as species, age, and environmental conditions play a role in their survival. Adaptations for Starvation Spiders have slow metabolisms, allowing them to conserve energy when food is scarce. They also rely on stored body fat and can reduce activity levels to minimize energy use. Water vs. Food While spiders can survive without food for long periods, they need water more frequently. Some species can go only a few days without water, while others can extract moisture from their prey or environment. Conclusion Spiders are resilient creatures that can endure long fasting periods. However, their survival
