Spiders

Spiders help balance the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. They are natural predators that feed on a variety of insects like flies, mosquitoes, and agricultural pests. By keeping these insect populations in check, spiders help maintain the overall balance of the ecosystem.

Definitely a writing spider they are peaceful and i think they are beautiful!

Spiders prefer environments that are dark, quiet, and undisturbed. They are often found in areas with clutter, such as basements, attics, and corners of rooms where they can build their webs and prey on insects. They also thrive in outdoor habitats like gardens and forested areas.

Garden spiders eat flies and other small insects.

The spider that resembles a black widow with a red spot on its back is likely a false black widow spider. These spiders are often mistaken for black widows due to their similar appearance, but their bite is generally less severe.

Black widow spiders can hold their breath for a long time, so it would take a considerable amount of time for them to drown. It is not recommended to try to drown a black widow spider as a method of control, as there are more effective and humane ways to deal with them.

Spiders do not have feelers. They have specialized sensory organs called pedipalps, which they use to touch, taste, and manipulate objects in their environment. These pedipalps are located near the spider's mouth and play a crucial role in hunting and mating.

the spiders come out of a funnel type web in a gap between the wall and door frame. they dont come all the way out, just the front 6 legs & front of the body. they are jet black & shiny with no apparent markings. i would say they are about 2 inches long, but that is a guess as i have never seen 1 come out! i now have 6 around my shed! first of all if you want several people to look at and respond you need to open a discuss: question and not answer your own. second spiders are cool great fun to look at and generally eat what we consider pests and do us no harm.zaf.

Spiders frequently leave their webs. Male spiders leave their webs to crawl about in search of female spiders of the same species. Some orb-weaving spiders tear down their old web after it gets light in the morning, and then make a new one at night. Other spiders get their webs torn down for them (by, e.g., some clumsy human walking right through it) and have to start all over again. And on top of that, any web-weaving spider I've ever seen will drop on a silken bungee cord to escape whenever anything very much bigger than they are violently shakes their web.

Some spiders spend most of their time in a protected place that is connected to their web with a sort of telegraph line, or "string telephone line" would be more like it. When an insect gets caught that shakes the web and the web shakes the signal line. At that point the spider will climb back up that line to the web and deal with the struggling insect. Then, when it's all wrapped up, she will carry it back to her place of safety.

No they can't. Nearly all animals with eyes can blink otherwise their eyeballs would just dry up and they would become blind but as spiders don't have eyelids this means that there is nothing to blink with so they must have some other way to keep their eyes moist.

i don't think they have "5" senses. Thomas Nagel wrote a philosophical paper "What's It Like to Be a Bat?". think about it for a while! then tell me how good your echolocation is! while people seem to perceive the world around them primarily through vision.* spider vision is very poor. vibration & odor inform their image of the world much more. they perceive both w/ their setae, what most people would call hair. while technically inaccurate, to say that spiders see the world w/ their hair is not untrue. *There is a popular school of thought (informed by historical texts) that medieval man (woman, child, eunich) smelled the world to a greater extent & saw it less. so, what is it like to be a bat?

A male black widow has orange and black stripes. Heres my description of black widows. This is about both male and female black widow spiders.

It is shiny and coal black in colour. The female averages 8-10 mm's in length and has long slender legs and a round abdomen. Usually on the underside of the female's abdomen is a red hourglass mark and one or two red spots over the spinnerets and along the middle of her back. The male is 3-4 mm's long with an elongated abdomen. The male's legs are larger then the females and each joint is orange brown and black on the ends. On the sides of the male's abdomen there are 4 pairs of red and white stripes. Young black widows are orange, brown and white. They acquire their black clothing with age.

It's estimated that there are about 131.41 million spiders for every person on Earth, based on a study that calculated the global spider population. This means there are far more spiders than humans worldwide.

Environmental factors that affect spiders include temperature, humidity, prey availability, and habitat structure. Spiders are ectothermic, so temperature can greatly influence their activity and metabolism. Humidity levels are important for maintaining their silk and for respiration. Availability of prey in their habitat is crucial for their survival and reproduction. The structure and complexity of their habitat also play a role in their ability to find shelter and capture prey.

The spider you described could possibly be a species of the Argiope genus, known for their distinctive black, yellow, and white striped patterns. One common species in North America is the yellow garden spider (Argiope aurantia). These spiders are not harmful to humans and are beneficial for controlling agricultural pests. If found indoors, it's best to safely relocate them back outside.

Spiders have colorless blood. It is called hemolymph and transports nutrients, hormones, oxygen and cells.

Spiders don't have blood, they have hemolymph. it is copper based not iron based. both of their main functions is to carry oxygen for respiration. copper rusts green, iron red.

Yes, foxes may eat spiders if they come across them while foraging for food. However, spiders are not a typical or significant part of a fox's diet, as they mainly feed on small mammals, birds, insects, fruits, and vegetables.

If you are in a Northern climate. Chances are what you are seeing is a wolf spider.

Starting when the weather gets cooler they seek shelter and get inside houses and barns for the winter. They can be quite large and they are very fast. yers they r cooooooooooooooooooooooool

The bolas spider, known for its unique hunting technique, spins a sticky silk thread with a weighted end that resembles a lasso. The spider swings this bolas to mimic the mating pheromones of moths, attracting them close before capturing them with its sticky thread.

The Maratus volans spider, also known as the peacock spider, has a round gold body. These spiders are small and found in Australia, known for their colorful patterns and elaborate mating displays.

No, they are not poisonus. The feelers look like pinchers but they do not hurt. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Araniella_cucurbitina_II.jpg

The spider you are describing is likely the Peacock Spider, specifically the Maratus volans species. These spiders are native to Australia and are known for their colorful markings that resemble a watermelon, with a red abdomen and green and white stripes on their body. They are relatively small, measuring around 5mm in length, and are famous for their intricate courtship dances.

Spiders can have anywhere from twenty to several thousand babies at a time. Larger spiders and web building spiders have the most offspring. This strategy is used because few survive to adulthood.

It sounds like you may be describing a zebra spider (Salticus scenicus), which is a common jumping spider known for its black and white striped pattern on its body. Zebra spiders are small, agile hunters that use their excellent eyesight to track and catch prey. They are harmless to humans and play a beneficial role in controlling insect populations.

well some have ten some have 8 it matters what type of garden spider a brown black or even poisoned spiders well they usually have 8 I'm not sure read a book to find it out or go to chanell 184

good luck finding that out!!!!
