Spiders

Spider's use to humans is limited, but there are many creatures on Earth whose lives are not of immediate benefit to humanity. One could also ask 'what use are humans?'!! Nevertheless, spiders can perform three functions which benefit us. Most importantly. they catch flies which might spread disease to people. The microbes carried by flies are harmless to spiders, but can lead to illness or infection in humans. Secondly, big bird-eating spiders in South America are used as food by the native Indians of the rainforest. After spearing the spider painlessly, they remove it's round abdomen and then roast the remaining body over a campfire. A third use that some spiders have been put to, is for their webs to be spun into silk. Silk spiders live in the island of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa- they are so named because the webs they weave are of exceptional quality, being both strong and beautifully soft. Madagascan craftspeople collect these webs from the trees and telegraph poles, and spin them into silken thread to make garments. In the days when Madagascar was a British colony, there was even an attempt to establish a large-scale spider-silk industry!!

A broom with an extended handle or a long-handled brush can be used to sweep away spider webs from a house. Alternatively, a pressure washer on a low setting can also effectively remove spider webs from exterior surfaces.

Spiders spin webs to catch prey. The silk they produce is strong and sticky, helping them immobilize insects that get caught. The web also serves as a shelter and a place for spiders to lay their eggs.

Usually they'll catch their food with the spiderwebs they make.

First spiders weave their web. Then they wait for an insect to fly into the web. They wrap the insect in their spider silk which is what the web is made from. Then the spider injects the insect with venom that either paralyze or kills the insect. The venom makes the insect into liquid. Then the spider eats it.

Spiders need food (insects), water, shelter (usually a web or hiding spot), and a suitable environment with the right temperature and humidity levels to survive. They also need to avoid predators and hazards to stay safe.

The size of a spider's web can vary depending on the species of spider. Some webs can be as small as a few centimeters, while others can span several meters. The largest webs are typically constructed by tropical orb-weaving spiders.

An arachnologist is a scientist who studies spiders, including their behavior, ecology, and taxonomy. However, individuals who collect spiders as a hobby are often referred to as arachnophiles or spider enthusiasts.

This is a tough question and the answer is probably not what you are seeking. Black Widows are very private creatures and prefer woodpiles, rock piles, dark and damp environments and do not generally come out to bother people unless provoked and even then, a bite is rare. The chemicals used to kill Black Widow spiders is unknown in consumer world with exception of one product that I have been able to locate: BAYER Total Home Defense. This product contains B-Cyfluthrin, which is said to be able to kill or rid your home of the Widow and Recluse species of spiders. Althought this had not been proven, a quick phone call to several pest control facilites in the area and I've found that B-Cyfluthrin is chemically compounded in several of the pest control mixtures that I've been told work. It is known commercially as several different chemical names, but nonetheless, is still the same. Products such as Ortho MAX and SEVIN insect control, specificly exclude the Widow, Recluse and Scorpions as pests that their product will kill. So, if you want them gone, keep brooming away their nests, smash the adults that you can find and keep debris piles to a minimum if not completely void on your premesis. This will discourage them from continuing to form webs and hideouts on your property in the future. The truth is - they are very hard to get rid of, once they are present in your home, shop or garden.

It is best not to make assumptions about someone's intentions based on stereotypes or generalizations. Instead, if someone expresses interest in a romantic or sexual relationship, it's important to have an open and honest conversation to ensure that both parties are on the same page and have clear communication about their desires and boundaries.

Actually just recently the funnel web was recorded as the worlds deadliest spider.

Depends. Funnel Web spiders found in Australia can be VERY venomous but the ones found in the U.S. are relatively harmless.

The first statement is false, as the Funnel-Web spider has long and is still considered to be inferior to the Brazilian Wandering spider. A Funnel-Web spider commonly can kill a human in between 40 minutes and 1 hour and 40 minutes, never less than 30 (this can vary depending on the victim's immune system level). While the Brazilian Wandering spider has been known to kill humans in 20 minutes.

Funnel webs attacks can sometimes be very rare, In Australia the states that funnel webs are in are : ACT & NSW. Some doctors and nurses are still trying to find out how to cure it.

These are reported to be booklice, not spiders, (though people describing them refer to them as ticking spiders) and with poor eyesight communicate at night by sometimes making a clearly audible "ticking" noise, by tapping the abdomen on the surface of paper. Check out Liposcelis divinatorius.

Masculines (adults) have the last segment of the pedipalps bigger (compared to adult feminines of the same species, or subspecies) and flat, transformed in copulatory structures, while feminine ones doesn't.

put conkers around you windows that you may open, it sounds crazy but it is a method to stop spiders and other insects from coming in, it is due to conker being some sort of sign of predetors hope that helped

Well You Can Smash it against them he-he but if you're a Person who loves spiders you could get them to go onto the conker and put the conker out side until the spider makes it was Down towards the Ground/grass.... :)

to teach a leson to the kids about selfishness and greed and where its going to land you in life...

No, you can eat them with no ill effects. They are quite good roasted.

If you mean, "Are they venomous?" the answer is "Yes." As spiders go, their venom is not as dangerous to people as some other spiders' and a bite will be painful but not usually life-threatening. It is about as bad as a wasp sting. That is not to discount the possibility that you might be deathly allergic to the venom.

If one bites you, ice the wound and seek a medical opinion. Capturing the spider to show the doctor (for positive identification) is not a bad idea if you can do it without getting bitten again.

If I cannot safely get it far away from me outside, I would for surely dispose of it by smashing it and flushing it down the toilet. If it is in your house dont let it escape. If there is one there is likely more. Fumigating for bugs I would recommend.

Widow Saverini uses Frisky, her pet cat, for companionship and emotional support after the loss of her husband. Frisky provides her with comfort, love, and a sense of connection, helping her cope with loneliness and grief. Pets can often have a therapeutic effect on individuals who are going through difficult times.

The movie you are referring to is likely "Arachnophobia" (1990), which features a deadly spider named "Martika". It is a horror-comedy film about a small town plagued by a new species of deadly spiders.

You need to eliminate their food source. Spiders feed on other insects. If they have nothing to east, they will go away. *Daddy Long Legs are not in the same category as spiders. They do not have the same food source as spiders, so beware of this when following the above advice. Two more facts, they have no venom, no fangs, and cannot bite. They are also night prowlers..for those of you who sleep with your mouth open... *Daddy Long Leg Spiders are the most venomist spiders in the world, however their fangs are not long enough to penitrate our skin..(thankfully). *I use an item you can buy at Lowes, Home depot. It's really a mouse trap, it has this really sticky substance on it and when something wlks on it it sticks to it. I don't have mice but I do have a lot of spiders and this thing works great for trapping spiders plus other insects. Just place them around the house, garage etc. and let it do the work. No smelly or unsafe chemicals either. *Actually the bit about them being the most poisonous spider is a myth .. it is no scientifically true. According to the University of California, Riverside: There is no reference to any pholcid spider biting a human and causing any detrimental reaction. If these spiders were indeed deadly poisonous but couldn't bite humans, then the only way we would know that they are poisonous is by milking them and injecting the venom into humans. For a variety of reasons including Amnesty International and a humanitarian code of ethics, this research has never been done. Furthermore, there are no toxicological studies testing the lethality of pholcid venom on any mammalian system (this is usually done with mice). Therefore, no information is available on the likely toxic effects of their venom in humans, so the part of the myth about their being especially poisonous is just that: a myth. There is no scientific basis for the supposition that they are deadly poisonous and there is no reason to assume that it is true. *Hello, as to the myth of the daddy long legs being the most venomous spider in the world, discovery channel's mythbusters laid that one to rest on Episode 13: Buried in Concrete, Daddy

Brown recluse spiders do not have a white butt. They are recognizable by a violin-shaped pattern on their cephalothorax and light brown color.

if it is a furry little spider it is probably one of the jumping spiders

Yes, wolf spiders are known to feed on stink bugs. Stink bugs are part of their diet as they are opportunistic predators that feed on a variety of insects. Wolf spiders use their speed and agility to capture and eat stink bugs along with other prey items.
