    How many eyes does a banana spider have?

    Question #93230. Asked by ohlavash. (Mar 06 08 10:18 AM)

    		Most people call them Banana Spiders because of their yellow bodies. Spiders have a head and an abdomen (belly). They have 8 legs and up to 8 eyes.

    		The Brazilian Wandering spider is also called the 'banana spider' as it is occasionally found within shipments of bananas. They are large hairy spindly-looking spiders who have eight eyes, two of which are large. The Brazilian Wandering spider appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for being the most venomous animal.

    Not to be confused with the Golden Silk Orb-Weaver, which Americans refer to as a banana spider.

    		I've stared down many a spider, but never noticed they have eight eyes. Seems most do.
