Spiders

In northern Georgia, you will find the southern terminus of the Appalachian Mountains, arguably the oldest mountain range on earth. The mountains date from the Permian time period of earth's history, around 300 million years ago. These mountains are igneous (volcanic) in origin, but in the huge amount of time since then, are also metamorphic. In southern Georgia, since rivers and streams drain the area, the rocks are largely sedimentary, composed of igneous and metamorphic rocks from the north laid down in riverbeds and deltas.

The most poisonous spider in the world is the aggressive Brazilian Wandering Spider, also known as the banana spider. There is an effective antivenom known, so there are few fatalities from its bite.

Most spiders have a venomous bite. Each species has different toxins within the venoms. Some of those toxins are dangerous or fatal to man but not all.

The bite of a black widow, for example, can cause heavy abdominal cramping and intense pain. The brown recluse spider bite causes a puss filled lesion, where the victim risks amputation or infection antivenin is not administered quickly. The hobo spider bite is believed to have similar necrotic effects.

Venom is produced by specialized glands in the spider's body. In most cases, spiders use the chemical properties of the venom to liquefy the insides of their prey, making them easier to digest.

The brown recluse spider or loxosceles reclusa is known to have a life span of 1.5 years but can live longer under proper conditions. The brown recluse was even seen alive for 7 years in a lab setting. The brown recluse can live 6-12 months without food.

yes

A bee for beacause it cannot raise it sting another time and they will die(also,they will die if their sting is broken).Instead they will use their bright colored bodies so if a mouse came in to their nest when it looks at them,the mouse will go out as fast as he could.

The tarantula hawk is a wasp that is distinguished by its large black body and bright orange-red wings. The sting of the tarantula hawk is thought to be one of the worst that is found in any bee.

Spiders don't have any antennaes at all, In fact there're not insects at all!!! They are in the class Arachnida

Most of the time, none. A spider bite is a toxic irritant, which no antibiotic will help. If no secondary infection develops at the site (rare) there is no need for antibiotics. An antibiotic (with no infection) is a foolish waste of time. An antihistamine (like Benadryl) can be very helpful, though. And cortisone ointment can be very helpful.

A baboon spider is a member of the tarantula subfamily Harpactirinae.

Myths and misconceptions abound when it comes to how spiders ingest, digest, and store food.

What many tarantula keepers see when they feed their charges often leads to misleading

conclusions. For example, if a keeper feeds a large grasshopper to a tarantula, then returns the

next day to find nothing apparent remaining, it's natural to assume the spider ate the entire

animal, exoskeleton and all. In fact, spiders are liquid feeders. If no solid remains are found, it

simply means that they are hidden somewhere in the cage.

In order for food particles to get past the extensive filter system of the spider's mouth, they

have to be quite small. Only particles less than 1 μm (one micrometer) get past. That's one

thousandth (10-3) of a millimeter, or one millionth (10-6) of a meter.

Feeding Behavior

Spiders are split into two major feeding groups based on the method they use for prey

manipulation. The feeding method of any particular species is based, perhaps erroneously, on the

presence or absence of cheliceral teeth. Cheliceral teeth are sharp, hardened points in a line on

the chelicerae above the fangs. The fangs fold in on top of the teeth, facilitating a firm, crushing

grip on the prey.

In most, but not all spider species having cheliceral teeth (including tarantulas), the prey is

ripped to pieces and manipulated into an unrecognizable ball, or bolus.

In spiders with no cheliceral teeth, although also included are certain species with cheliceral

teeth, the body of the prey is perforated in one or more areas by the fangs. The prey is not torn

apart, and if an exoskeleton is present, it looks much like it did in life after feeding is over.

Traditionally, arachnologists have used the presence of cheliceral teeth as the indicator of what

method a spider species will use when feeding on prey, yet accept that some with cheliceral teeth

are exceptions.

Cheliceral teeth may be a good indicator of feeding methods, or they may not. Many cobweb

weavers (Theridiidae) have few or no cheliceral teeth, such as the largest members of the family,

the widow spiders (Latrodectus). Even without cheliceral teeth, widow spiders are capable of

tearing the prey to pieces, but they don't. I suggest some other adaptation, such as a more

powerful sucking stomach, or specialized mouthparts, may be of equal value in explaining why

some species tear the prey apart and others do not. This hypothesis needs scientific evaluation,

but so does the cheliceral teeth hypothesis.

After trapping and killing their prey, Arachnids cover or sometimes inject the victim with digestive juices regurgitated from their stomachs, which quickly converts the prey item into something similar to a high protein shake. Aside from simply dissolving the victim, this predigesting process also kills any parasites that may have been living in or on the prey item.

Once dinner has reached the proper viscosity, the arachnid then sucks the slurry through the mouth and on into the esophagus and stomach.

No. When a female black widow spider is looking for a mate, well she finds one and mates it. Then she eventually eats him! (most species of female spiders do this- they are bigger than the males as well). The female black widow spider uses the male one just to make babies. Then they are off-unless the female is hungry! So, black widows are not asexual. By the way, I am female and 13 years old and I love spiders. Plus, I am also learning about sexual reproduction and all that sex stuff in 7th grade science now-anyway, hope this made sense to you!

The spider you are describing sounds like a grass spider (Agelenopsis), which is typically gray with two distinct black stripes running along its back. These spiders are commonly found in grassy and wooded areas and are known for building funnel-shaped webs to catch their prey.

For honey bees, the male is the drone, the queen and workers are all female.

Drones' eyes are almost twice the size of a worker bee's eyes and their body is stockier and heavier than a worker, but not as big as a queen.

Despite their heavier weight, drones can fly fast enough to catch up with a queen.

Most larger spider bites will cause a hard lump to form, especially bites from a wolf spider or brown recluse. This is because blood cells rush to the area during the healing process and become trapped. As the bite heals, the lump will go down and eventually disappear. Make sure that its actually a spider bite though, because hard lumps also form under MRSA boils and are often mistaken for spider bites. Seek medical attention if the bite gets worse or does not begin healing within 24 hours of beginning treatment.

All insects are animals. However, a spider is not an insect. Spiders are in a class called Arachnids. All insects have a pair of antennae, 6 legs, and 3 main body parts (tagmata): the head, thorax, and abdomen. Spiders have no antennae, 8 legs, and 2 tagmata: the cephalothorax and the abdomen.

Spiders have this tough silk-like material that they naturally produce. Behind a spider are it's spineretts (not sure if i spelled that right, sorry). when needed, a spider releases the tough silk-like material, usually forming a web.

No, its acutally not harmless i did months of research.

Depends to some extent on whom you talk to, but it would appear that a jellyfish common to warm waters of the South Pacific called the Box Jelly or a relative, the Sea Wasp are the deadliest. (There's a spider in Australia that I wouldn't want to run afoul of. The male Funnel-Web Spider can inject a venom that, if left untreated, can kill in a few hours. Even if successfully treated, recovery often takes several days -- sometimes weeks.) wrong!!!!! The most poisonous animal in the world is a type of tree frog known as the poison arrow frog The dictionary definition of venom: "The poisonous fluid that some animals, as certain snakes and spiders, synthesize and introduce into the bodies of their victims by biting, stinging, etc." The question didn't ask for the most poisonous creature in the world... it asked for the most venomous. The Poison arrow frog secretes a highly poisonous fluid from its skin. It neither bites nor stings, and it doesn't inject its secretions. It's toxic -- not venomous. However, I admit that is, to some extent, splitting hairs. However, I doubt if its secretions are more toxic than the venom of either the box jelly (Chironex fleckeri) or sea wasp (Chiropsalmus quadrigatus). The amounts they inject are extremely small, but they can kill very very quickly and very painfully. Nevertheless, if you want to delve into poisons I think you'll find that the most poisonous creature is the bacterium known as Clostridium botulinum... Its secretion - the botulism toxin - is so powerful that a single ounce of the purified crystal would kill every human on the face of the earth.

no, the scorpions have their own way. so does the spiders.. so don't think that!
