What are facts about the water boatman?
Water boatmen are small aquatic insects belonging to the family Corixidae, known for their distinctive oar-like hind legs that allow them to swim efficiently in water. They are typically found in freshwater habitats such as ponds and lakes, where they feed on algae and decaying plant matter. Interestingly, water boatmen are also known for producing a unique sound by rubbing their wings together, which is often used in mating rituals. Additionally, they play a role in the aquatic ecosystem by serving as both prey for larger animals and contributors to nutrient recycling in their environments.

Do white tail spiders scratch or punture the skin?
White-tailed Spider bites can cause initial burning pain followed by swelling and itchiness at the bitten area. Occasionally, weals, blistering or local ulceration have been reported - conditions known medically as necrotising arachnidism. As well as the spider's venom, minor bacterial infection of the wound may be a contributory factor in such cases.
A debate continues about the involvement of White-tailed Spider bite in cases of severe ulcerative skin lesions seen in patients diagnosed as probable spider bite victims. Typically, in such cases no direct evidence of spider bite is available. Sensational media reporting of supposed cases of severe "necrotising arachnidism" has given the White-tailed Spider a bad reputation. However, a recent study has monitored the medical outcomes of over 100 verified White-tailed Spider bites and found not a single case of ulceration (confirming the results of an earlier study). The available evidence suggests that skin ulceration is not a common outcome of White-tailed Spider bite.
White-tailed Spiders around your house can be controlled by catching and removing any that you see and by clearing away the webs of the house spiders upon which they feed.
