Do white spiders bite?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

White tail spiders are poisonous but the venom does not affect humans.

this is not true the reason for the different severity of wounds caused by the white tail is because its venom causes an instant shut down of the immune system of the immediate area around the bite,therefore the different reactions are to do with natural infection. so it would like be getting a cut or puncture wound and having no immune system the cut would infect and start to gangrene.

the tests done on the spider bites to date have all been done in laboratory conditions not allowing for the reaction of infection. the best way to deal with a white tail bit e is to immediately pour a safe strength of pure hydrogen peroxide/dioxide onto the open wound. this will kill any infection or bacteria in the wound immediately do not continue to wash with the peroxide only clean once with peroxide then use 3 times a day pure tea tree oil for keeping the wound clean and boosting the immune system around the wound the tea tree oil also helps to draw oxygenated blood to the wound area. continued use of peroxide to clean the wound will have unwanted effects.

Is a spider and web a living or nonliving thing?

A spider is a living thing because it has vital functions (Nutrition, Respiration, Movement, Growth, Sensitivity, Excretion and Reproduction). However a spiderweb/cobweb is a non-living thing because it does not have any vital functions from the above.

How do spiders get into your house when all doors and windows are closed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well you see

After the spider graduates from " Spider Ninja Academy " It is tasked to eradicate humans. Using its vast knowledge of creepy crawling and evading the water sprinklers outside your house it now makes its way to your front porch.

Noticing that all your windows and doors are closed it decides to wait for the opportune moment to strike. It sets up a web near the door. Munching on flies and flirting with nearby cockroaches it's only a matter of time before the human makes its daily errands outside the house. However, the spider makes a critical error. Forgetting that humans possess the lawn mower carriage (Car) that is parked in a garage, Using its last trump card, the spider uses it's webs as slings (like spiderman) to quickly make up ground. The human by now is reversing it's carriage, preparing to close the garage door. The spider makes one final lunge...

It took everything but the spider succeeded. Now it must set itself in a place where you can't see it (preferably under your bed).

it will strike by nightfall...

Many spiders look alike. Many belong to the same "family" as other species, and have only very slight differences between them. An example is the Australian redback spider and the American black widow.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but they are extremely rare. The brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reculsa,is common outdoors and indoors in the southern and central United States. It is uncommon to extremely rare in the Upper Midwest. Only one specimen has been recorded in Minnesota (1953, Lake County). Only two specimens have been recorded in Wisconsin in the last 25 years. Brown recluse spiders have been reported in several widely scattered sites in southern Iowa since 1969. Specimens have been retrieved and confirmed from only twelve counties.

Yeah Antarctica although Antarctica has very little of anything other than snow and ice. Moving there to avoid spiders is perhaps an extreme move and not to be recommended unless you have a very, very warm pair of boots.

What kills camel spiders?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. A camel spider's diet consists of smaller insects, lizards, birds, they will take on a scorpion, and rarely attack a larger animal then themselves.

The name camel spider came about because they live in the desert and is only one of many names for this particular arachnid. Such as the wind scorpion, sand spider, sun spider, and solifugae, which is the Latin name for it.

Can spiders really catch fish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes.

There is a genus of Australian spiders known as Fishing spiders (Dolomedes instabilis), of the family Pisauridaewhich, as their name suggest, catch fish, as well as tadpoles and frogs. These spiders have long, strong legs, and tend to rest by the edge of still ponds, with their legs touching the surface of the water. This suggests that these spiders can detect prey by touching the surface of the water: as prey approaches, the spiders will skim the surface of the water to catch creatures such as insects, small fish and tadpoles, and sometimes even submerge to catch them. They also lightly touch the water surface with their legs to lure fish closer.

Is a ghost spider fatal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well that depending on the species. There are various types of ghost spider Hibana and the Hibana hybrid species. Hibana is a spider genus that is found in the USA, Belize, Brazil, Guatemala, Australia, and the West Indies. The hybrid can be deadly if your allergic to other insects such as mosquitoes, bees, & ants. However the insect does have farming & medical benefits as well. Hybrids can be identified distinctively by the color of its legs and wings and the legs are black and yellow when the insect is not in camouflage defense mode. Ghost spiders are commonly referred to as "GHOSTS" by islanders especially in the south pacific, Fiji islanders and West Indians) the hybrid specie turns complete white in defense mode and can grow up to 5.5-6 some in brazil grow up to 8 inches long. The difference between the two species is the non hybrid one does not use camouflage mode non hybrids are a light grayish or white at all the time, and does not have wings Note that the hybrid species preys on anything and both live mostly in the rain forests. All species basically consume insect .North American states the hybrid is commonly found is California, Maryland, Alabama, Minnesota and Florida.
