Although the first giant spiders evolved on Earth, they produced their most spectacular forms after being transplanted to Mars by Earth's second wave of intelligent species.

Questions
1)Just how big are they?
2)What is the second wave of Earth's intelligent species
3)What is that ferret like thing on the end of the lead fang?

I've probably already commented on this but I inexplicably come back to it constantly because it's such a great mix of idea and execution. Makes real spiders look drab in comparison.

Also do the pair of limbs in the air serve a purpose similar to a mantis' graspers or is this just for the sake of visual interest?

They are used as battering clubs, or "sifter" organs that comb through the undergrowth for small prey.

Thank you very much for the clarification, also it would be very interesting to see these two species in color.

I'm assuming that the atmosphere of mars has been restored to a tolerable level for organisms to utilize. But I have one question, do spiders breathe through trachial tubes like most insects do? Or have they evolved past that need due to size increase, and now breathe through a nose, mouth or something similar?
