Which exercise can make your legs long?
Squats Well, squats are a good place to start but if you're going for a well rounded fitness and appearance it's a little more involved. There are several exercises, besides squats, that will help achieve this goal including calf raises, dead lift, one-legged squats, power cleans and some stationary flexion and extension machine exercises. The key is combining all of the above, mixing it up to keep your body from adapting to specific exercises, and working at higher weights and lower repetitions. Remember, this is for building muscle mass in particular.

Why does a spider bite people?
my theory is, spiders are generally thought to be revolting because of their hairy body and long, thin legs which make one feel like the spider is going to grab you, though of course no such thing can happen. Therefore, the longer the legs and the hairier the body, the scarier the spider!

was told that brown recluse does NOT appear in the area near Reno, have been bitten twice in 6 month period in 2010, once in January and once in July.
had the typical necrotic reaction in both areas. definitely not black widow bites. have rather deep depression in left leg due to tissue loss and same in area above left hip below back.

= Potentially Dangerous Spiders =
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.
Figure 2. Brown Recluse Spider The brown recluse spider is nicknamed the fiddleback or violin spider because of the distinctive dark violin-shaped marking on top of the front body section. Notice the neck of the violin points toward the rear. The brown recluse is unusual in having six eyes instead of the usual eight. The spiders are tan to dark brown and nearly ½ inch in body size. Recluse spiders avoid areas where there is human activity, and prefer closets, guest rooms, basements, and attics. They frequently inhabit shoe boxes, clothing and furniture. These spiders are most active at night and feed on silverfish, crickets, and other insects. Most people are bitten on the hands or feet when they are handling infested items. The bite of the brown recluse spider is usually painless. However, localized burning sensation often develops within the first hour and during the next 6-12 hours, a small pimple or blister forms. The surrounding tissue begins to darken and take a raised appearance. The venom of this spider can cause extensive tissue damage (necrotic reaction) and over the next 10-14 days, a sunken, open, ulcerated sore up to several centimeters in diameter. It normally takes 6-8 weeks for a brown recluse spider bite to heal. A large sunken scar may persist that requires surgery to repair. Not every brown recluse bite results in ulcer formation. In rare cases systemic complications such as liver or kidney damage result. See your physician or emergency room as soon as you suspect a brown recluse spider bite. Capture the spider for later identification (crush the specimen, if necessary, but do so as gently as possible).
How many poisonous spiders are found in South Dakota?
The thing about the true spiders is that they are allvenomous. But only the Brown Recluse, the Black Widow and the Hobo Spider present real hazards. Note that all spider bite victims should immediately be seen by a physician. Children in particular! Allergic reactions leave little time for reaction and intervention. You should safely collect the spider if possible (with a shirt or towel, for example), bag it, and get the victim and the arachnid to the nearest doctor ASAP. You might be inconvenienced, but you might be very sorry for ignoring the good sense presented here.
