What would happen if spiders were the size of humans?
A world in which spiders are the same size as humans would be far from harmonious. We’d likely be in a constant state of war, with nest raids for population control, and we’d need frequent patrols to get people unstuck.
How strong would a spider be if it was human size?
The calculated grip of the jumping spider is that it could hold 170 times the spider’s own body weight before coming unstuck. Meaning, a human with jumping spider strength, could use their hands and feet to hold 170x their weight. A 150 pound person then could hold 25,000 pounds.
