How does a sweep net work?

How many nightmares does the average person have each year?
It depends what you mean by 'fears'. Almost everyone has a fear of the 'unknown' - It's natural to be apprehensive of something we cannot see, or know nothing about. If you're talking about phobias (such as a fear of spiders etc) - people usually only really develop phobias as a result of a bad experience (usually in childhood). Most people's phobias disappear as we get older - and more informed.
Why is it difficult to walk in waist deep water?
You can't walk on water because you are too heavy. Well, then why can a water spider walk on water if you ask? Because water spiders have little fur on their feet with some kinds of oil that makes it stand on top of water. Also, they are so light that it doesn't break the tense of the surface of water.
Why shouldn't you hold your breath in a vacuum?
The issue is undetermined. Some scientists believe that exposure to a vacuum may be possible for a short time (as in the movie 2001). Remember that spacecraft only use 1/3 Bar pressure. DANGEROUS THOUGHT EXPERIMENT--DO NOT ATTEMPT: At the bottom of a ten- to twelve-foot pool, breathe with an air hose or scuba gear. Then disconnect it, hold your breath and push off to the surface. Is it possible to hold your breath? You could do this in several steps, 3 feet, 5 feet, 8 feet, etc. which would be much safer. The difference between 11 feet of water and the surface would be the same as the difference between 1/3 bar and zero pressure. In the 1930's experiments were done to determine how pilots would react to sudden decompression. Pigs were used of course. Some suvived very low pressures. Some spiders insects survive hard vacuum inside electron microscopes! In a real vacuum, your blood would boil. But is a short exposure to vacuum possible?..nobody knows.
What was the name of the first rocket to bring an animal to space?
First Animal in SpaceThe first animals intentionally sent into space were fruit flies, which traveled along with corn seeds aboard a U.S.-launched V2 rocket in mid July, 1946. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of radiation exposure at high altitudes. Some further V2 missions carried biological samples, including moss. A rhesus monkey called Albert became the first monkey launched on June 11, 1948; also on board a US-launched V2 rocket. Albert suffocated during the flight.The generally accepted definition of the boundary between earth's atmosphere and "space" is 100 km (62 mi.) altitude, known as the Karman line. Thus, the first "Albert," who flew on a V2 on June 11, 1948 did not fly into space, reaching an altitude of 63 km (38 mi.). Albert II flew into space on June 14, 1949, reaching an altitude of 134 km (83 mi.). Also, it is not clear from commonly available sources whether the 1946 fruit flies reached space or not.Albert II in a U.S. launched V2 became the first monkey in space on June 14, 1949 (after the failure of the original Albert's mission). He was killed on impact after a parachute failure on his return to Earth.Numerous monkeys of several species were flown by the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s.Laika, a Russian dog, and the first animal in orbit, was launched on 3 November 1957 and died a few hours later from stress and overheating resulting from a failure of the temperature control system.At least 10 more dogs were launched into space and on sub-orbital flights by the Soviets until April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Since those first historic launches, many monkeys, chimpanzees, rats, mice, frogs, spiders, cats, gorillas and even a tortoise were launched into space.Other contributors have said:The first rocket ever sent to space probably carried bacteria or some other accidental passenger. But the first animals ever intentionally sent into space were fruit flies launched aboard a V2 rocket in 1947. US scientists were studying the effects of radiation at high altitude.A rhesus monkey called Albert 1 became the first monkey launched into space on June 11, 1948; also on board a US-launched V2 rocket. These were just suborbital flights, though. The first animal to actually go into orbit was the dog Laika, launched on board the Soviet Sputnik 2 spacecraft on November 3, 1957. Unfortunately, Laika died during the flight. At least 10 more dogs were launched into space and on sub-orbital flights by the Soviets until April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space. Since those first historic launches, many monkeys, chimpanzees, rats, mice, frogs, spiders, cats, gorillas and even a tortoise were launched into space.
How does spiders hear?
They don't hear they sense vibrations.
Do vibrations attract spiders?
Yes, that is how they know there is an insect caught in their web.
Do spiders have ears?

Are black widows warm blooded?
No, black windows are spiders and all spiders are cold blooded animals, as their temperature is controlled by their surroundings.
Why are spiders fond of music?
They are attracted to the vibrations, the hairs on their legs act as receptors.Hope that helpedDr Sir Mr Master Knowitallimobob
Are spiders affected by pesticides?
sometimes but not always mostly depends on the spider
How does spiders look?
their eyes, but they don't hve very good vision so they use their sense o feel more. vibrations.
Explain how spiders can use vibrations to help them capture their prey?
Prey caught in the spiders web struggles. This causes vibrations in the web strands. The spider sits at the center of the web strands and using its legs, detects which strands are being moved. It then proceeds down those strands to the location of the ensnared insect and bites and secures it for eating.
What do spider hate?
rough vibrations and sudden jerks in your movement..loud noises[screaming or yelling]..wind or blowing hard on it..most all spiders love the pulse in the palm of your hand.
How do male spiders try to survive the process of being eaten by females after mating?
They can survive if they leave very inconspicuously, without making vibrations in the female spider's web.
How is the tarantula affected by the changes to the environment?
Most types of spiders that live outside have adapted to living outside. Other types of spiders live exclusively indoors and would not survive outdoors.
What is a communication line on a spider web?
When a ant or fly of some sort get caught in the Web it send vibrations up in the web. The little hairs in the spiders leg sense that and tangle their pray.
