Spiders

The description provided matches that of the silver argiope spider, also known as Argiope argentata. This species is characterized by its silver abdomen and yellow/brown legs. It is a common orb-weaving spider found in the southern United States and parts of South America.

The main parts of the body are divided into systems. Most anatomy and physiology texts refer to ten systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive.

It sounds like you might have encountered a crab spider, specifically a mother spider carrying her egg sac. Crab spiders are known for their ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings. The egg sac you saw might appear mushroom-like in shape. It's best to observe from a distance and not disturb the spider as it cares for its eggs or young.

you mean ventral or dorsal the answer is ventral. http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2061A.html i wouldn't turn one on the little girls over just to find out. opps this is Shane not uncle rick.

It sounds like you may have encountered a male black widow spider. Female black widows are easily recognizable by their red hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomen, while males have white spots on their back. Black widow spiders are venomous, so it's best to avoid touching them and contact a pest control professional if you think they are in or near your home.

Wolf spiders can go extended periods without drinking water since they obtain moisture from their prey. However, they will drink water if it is available to them.

The spider you are referring to could be a green lynx spider (Peucetia viridans) which is known for its bright green color and sometimes having a red dot on its abdomen. These spiders are often found in gardens and are beneficial as they feed on pest insects. If you encounter one, it's best to observe from a distance as they can bite if they feel threatened.

Spiders don't purposely seek out humans to crawl on while they sleep. They are more likely just passing through looking for food or shelter. If you find spiders in your bedroom, it's most likely because they wandered in by accident or were attracted to the warmth and darkness.

birds, other mammals but poisonous ones probably won't be eaten because of their color warns the animals not to eat them.

Araneus diadematus(AKA cross spider) is the only spider i can think of that i know of that is brown/black and has a cross on its back.

Here are some photos.

Yes, some insects, like flies and ants, can have fewer than six legs. Insects belong to the class Insecta, which is defined by having three body segments, a pair of antennae, and typically three pairs of legs, but some insects have adaptations that cause them to have fewer legs.

it is likely that the Middle English word "coppe," which meant simply "spider." slowly changed over time into cob "cobweb." Or simply "spiderweb"

I'm guessing that they are. I ran across one today in Delta BC that was in my outside tin shed. They don't bite unless handled roughly. I didn't see him on a bag of grass fertilizer that I had carried to the back yard until I tipped the bag back to pick it up.

Spider crabs are omnivores, meaning they consume both plant and animal matter. Their diet typically consists of algae, small fish, mollusks, and other crustaceans. They are known to scavenge for food on the ocean floor using their specialized feeding appendages.

The Brazilian wandering spider can vary in color from brown to black with some species having a slight red or orange tint.

You can feed a spider 1-2 appropriately sized crickets at a time. Overfeeding can lead to uneaten prey attracting pests or causing stress on the spider. It's important to observe the spider's behavior and adjust the feeding amount accordingly.

A long-legged relative of the spider that does not spin a web is a harvestman, also known as a daddy longlegs. These arachnids are classified in the order Opiliones and do not produce silk or build webs. Instead, they are primarily scavengers feeding on small insects and plant material.

The description of a round brown body with yellow and reddish orange striped legs suggests that the spider you saw in Grand Rapids, Michigan is likely a marbled orb-weaver spider (Araneus marmoreus). These spiders are harmless to humans and are known for their striking coloration.

A spider's sense of touch through specialized hairs on its legs is considered to be highly developed. These hairs help spiders detect vibrations and navigate their environment, aiding in hunting and detecting potential threats.

The Missouri tarantula is known to make burrow webs. They dig burrows in the ground where they hide during the day and come out at night to hunt for prey. The burrow provides them with protection and a safe place to retreat to.

Female hobo spiders appear to have diamonds on their back. Google Hobo spiders and see if that is what you are refering to.

The spider that commonly preys on black widows is the Phidippus audax, also known as the bold jumping spider. This species is known to be immune to the venom of the black widow and will actively seek them out as prey. However, there are other predators such as parasitic wasps and birds that also feed on black widows.

It sounds like you may be referring to the Argiope aurantia, commonly known as the black and yellow garden spider. This spider is known for its distinctive black and yellow stripes on its body and is commonly found in gardens across North America. They are harmless to humans and play an important role in controlling insect populations.

Spiders do not urinate like humans or mammals. They release waste through structures called Malpighian tubules, which filter and remove nitrogenous waste from their blood. This waste is then expelled as solid uric acid, minimizing water loss.
