However, the article title is incorrect (not "each hair on a spider's body"). The study only pertains to a small fraction of the hairs found on a spider -- just the trichobothria hairs. These hairs are usually sparsely distributed on spiders, even on otherwise hairy spiders. Thanks for reporting this cool fact about spiders!
