Q: Are some spiders blind?
A: To the best of my knowledge, there are no blind spiders, however most spiders don't see all that well. The typical spider, those that make webs and wait for prey to blunder into their webs, don't see very well and actually don't need to. Those spiders that hunt down their prey, like jumping spiders, tarantulas, and wolf spiders, do have pretty good eyesight
