How many arachnids different from insects?

Firstly, all arachnids cannot fly. they all have 8 legs and 2 body parts

Insects have 3 body parts, 8 legs, and some have wings (Spiders are often mistaken for insects).

Arachnids get their name from an ancient Greek legend. It was said that Athena found a woman called Arachne boasting that her weaving was better than anyone, even the goddesses weaving. Greek gods and goddesses did not take well to upstart mortals, so Arachne was turned into a spider. She could weave only her webs, and all spiders now carry her name.

Hope this helps :D

I love caterpillar raising and here are the main things I've learned: -Keep in a dry well ventilated container -If you have more then one try and keep them separate some get aggressive with each other -Glass containers are best, or mesh: but make sure the size is appropriate in proportion to the caterpillar -Find out the type of leaves the caterpillar feeds on and make sure you give fresh leaves at least every two days (moths tend to eat tree leaves and butterflies like flower or plant leaves) -Handle them as little as possible -Clean the container every two or three days, don't use harsh chemicals, just water will do Good Luck!

Do you need a license for stick insects?

No they don't need a license the only one that does is the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect thought to be extinct for 50Yrs but rediscovered on Balls Pyramid.

Not true if you're in the U.S. Most, if not all, species require a license because of the threat that they'll escape captivity and become an invasive pest. (Despite the fact that cold winters in most parts of the U.S. would kill any that escaped captivity.) Licenses are generally only granted to zoos and universities, so the chance that you'll be able to keep a stick insect as a pet is rather unlikely. Legally, anyway.

What kind of spider has the body style of of black widow but does not have the red hourglass and is more of a brown color than the jet black color of a Black widow Is it dangerous?

Spiders of the genus 'Steatoda' are often mistaken for Black widow spiders , and are known as false black widows; however Steatoda are significantly less harmful to humans. Steatoda are shaped similarly to widow spiders, with round, bulbous abdomens. A few come in very, very dark brown and closely resemble the black widow. To be safe I recommend following the link I added at the bottom and looking at the pictures and information, it might help you narrow down exactly what spider your talking about. Also knowing what part of the world you are in would help with the identification.

Should I be concern if I see a fly on my food?

Yes, but especially if there are several or several over period of time. Flies are usually attracted to dead material because that is where they will lay their eggs. The eggs hatch into larvae (maggots) which will use that as a food source. The adult flies will pick up a great number of bacteria on their feet and when walking on your food , will leave some behind. You shouldn't worry too much if it is one fly and you eat the food as soon as it is put on the table. The acid in your stomach will destroy them.
