and how many webs do they have to make in a lifetime

It depends very largely on the kind and size of the
spider. The more "primitive" spiders, such as
tarantulas, trapdoor spiders and some of the non-
tarantula types live for several years. In some cases it may take 6 or more years for them to
mature.

Also small spiders normally reach maturity faster
and live for a shorter time than large ones. In the
temperate areas big wolf spider and others may
not become adult until their second season, and
live perhaps two to three years. In many cases it
is not known how long a particular kind may live,
because no one has tried to find out.

As for number of webs, this varies greatly. Many
kinds of spiders, most crab spiders and jumping
spiders, for example, do not build prey catching
webs. In fact there may be more non-web-building
species than web builders. Some web builders
build a new web each day, taking the old one down
at some point, and often eating the silk of the old
web. Others leave the web up for long periods
repairing it occasionally if it is damaged.

Most spiders typically live for about a year, although up to five to six months of this may well be spent in the egg stage.

However, there are some tarantulas that can live for as many as twenty years, and even one species has been known to survive over thirty years in captivity.

Then there are some tropical jumping spiders that only live for three months or less

Females almost a year since egg to adult's death.
males, a few weeks less.
Webs? deppends on species, but mostly like 1 a day in wad weather for like 6 months.
1 a like time in species with a permanent web.
