Spiders detect approaching predators through vibration sensors on their legs.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that spiders detect approaching predators through vibration sensors on their legs?

Partly. One review of spider sensory guidance confirms that spiders have vibration-sensitive receptors on their legs and sense substrate vibration, but it does not specifically address detection of approaching predators. A study of jumping spiders frames predator recognition as visual, covering only one family, so the evidence only partly addresses the claim.
