Spiders
Arachnida (Arachnids), with approzimately 39,500 identified species, are commonly known as spiders. All spiders are both carnivorous and venomous, but only a very small percentage are potentially dangerous to humans. Ask and answer questions here about these eight legged fascinating wonders.

Yes, the majority of spiders are harmless to humans and prefer to avoid interaction. They typically only bite if provoked or threatened, and most spider bites are not dangerous. However, it is important to be cautious around spiders you are not familiar with, as some species can be venomous.
What kind of spider has a black body with a yellow line and two yellow dots under that on its back?
I'm honestly not sure. But in order to check go to these Spider- ID sites-- and even if you do not find what you are looking for you will be able to ID any other in the future--

What is a black spider with white striped legs and a white spot on its back about 12 inch diameter?
It sounds like you are describing a black widow spider. Black widows are easily recognizable by their shiny black bodies with red hourglass markings on the abdomen. They are known for their venomous bite, so it's best to avoid contact with them.
What is the funnel web spiders diet?
There are two very different kinds of spiders that are commonly known as "funnel-web spiders." Some members the Hexathelidae can be very dangerous, and only one member of the Agelenidae might give medically significant bites to humans.
(1) Sydney Funnel-web spiders are known as highly aggressive and the second most deadly spiders in the world. They belong to the same Order as the tarantulas, and to the Family called the Hexathelidae. Within this Family, the genus Atrax and the somewhat less problematical genus Hadronyche. The Sydney Funnel-web spiders are members of Atrax. The Sydney funnel-web spiders occur only in that general part of Australia. The only Hexathelidae found in Europe are limited to Spain and Portugal.
(2) In all parts of the world (with the exclusion of those with very harsh climatic conditions such as the arctic) there are members of the Family Agelenidae. Out of all of these very ubiquitous spiders there is only one species that is alleged to give bites that can be medically significant. That is the Hobo Spider (Tegenaria agrestis). There are unconfirmed reports that its bites can produce necrotic lesions. Its name, "agrestis" is a public relations disaster because it has been misunderstood to mean "aggressive" although it actually means "of the fields."
The funnel-web spiders of the U.S., England, and other temperate regions are web-dwelling spiders that catch prey that happens to land on the broad expanses of their webs. The spiders lurk at the small end of the "funnel," and are rarely even seen because they stay concealed by preference and flee at the first sign of trouble. They are highly valuable members of the eco-system because they eat flies and other troublesome insects.
Fuzzy black spider with white rings on legs?
The spider you are describing sounds like a bold jumper spider (Phidippus audax). These spiders are commonly found in North America and are known for their striking black bodies with white rings on their legs. Bold jumpers are active predators and use their excellent vision to stalk and pounce on prey.
Spiders do not give birth. They lay eggs. Typically they lay their eggs in a silken sac of some kind that is sealed until the spiders start to hatch. The silken sac is carried around by some spiders such as the wolf spiders, or may be hung in or near to the spider's web. Different spiders have different places to keep their egg sacs safe.
"Jaws" was primarily filmed on location in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, as well as in various other locations along the coast of New England. The production also used a replica shark in water tanks in California for some scenes.
Does a spider have a head thorax and a abdomen?
Yes, a spider has a distinct head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains the eyes, fangs, and mouthparts, the thorax is where the legs and most of the internal organs are located, and the abdomen houses the spider's digestive and reproductive organs.
What states have the least amount of poisonous spiders?
Alaska, Hawaii, and North Dakota are among the states with the least amount of poisonous spiders. These states have colder climates that are less conducive to the survival and proliferation of venomous spider species compared to warmer regions.
What is a spider's classification?
For example, a WESTERN BLACK WIDOW would be=Kingdom:Animalia, Phylum: Arthropoda, Class: Arachnida, Order:Araneae, Family: Theridiidae, Genus: Latrodectus, Species: Hesperus
There are about 111 different Families of spiders, 3,700 Genuses and about 40,000 discovered species. Above is the classification of a Western Black Widow species. Different species of spiders would have a different Family, Genus, and Species than what you see above.

Are there any harmful spiders in Perth Australia?
The Red-backed Spider is found in Perth and has a potentially fatal bite.
The White-tailed Spider also is found there. While it will not fatally poison you, its bite can cause nasty ulceration and infection. The Black Widow spider is also found in Perth .
Do spiders have an exoskeleton?
Yes, spiders have an exoskeleton, which is a hard, external covering that provides support and protection for their bodies. This exoskeleton is made of a tough protein called chitin and must be shed periodically as the spider grows.
Well... everybody needs air to breathe( no matter what type it is- oxygen or nitrogen or carbondioxide). Spiders need to breathe like you and I, but many scientists find it difficult to find out how spiders breathe! The simple answer is- they use their legs to breathe! That is a very WEIRD way to breathe( well the way we find it), but to spiders, that is a very UNIQUE way of breathing.
FactThe above answer is very true. The spider does breath through it's legs, and they also smell through small scent detecting hairs on their legs.
A few have rudimentary (book) lungs, but most don't "breath" - they do their gas exchange via pores and allow diffusion (partial) pressure to move gases in and out of cells.
Spiders use a type of lung called the canter. Unlike lungs a spider only has on canter instead of two lungs.
What are characteristics of a wolf spider?
The Wikipedia has an excellent description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider In short, they are brown spiders with black stripes that can be anywhere from 0.04 to 1.18 inches long with two large eyes on one row and four smaller ones beneath.
Why can't web spinning spiders catch food by hunting?
Web-spinning spiders have evolved to rely on their webs to catch prey because it is a more energy-efficient strategy. By using webs, they can catch prey that they may not be able to overpower through hunting. Additionally, building and maintaining a web allows the spider to conserve energy and focus on other activities such as reproduction.
What is the Brazilian Wandering Spider?
The Brazilian Wandering spider is arguably the most poisonous spider in the world. They are so called because they 'wander' the jungle floors at night. It is just one of the handful of spiders that can harm or kill a human.
What types of Spiders are in California?
Some common types of spiders found in California include black widows, brown widows, cellar spiders, wolf spiders, and garden spiders. It is also home to the desert recluse spider and tarantulas in certain regions.
There are over 48,000 known species of spiders, and scientists estimate that there could be many more species yet to be discovered. Spiders are found on every continent except Antarctica and play a crucial role in controlling insect populations.

In Florida the deadliest spider is the brown recluise(recluithe(don't remember which one)). If a kid was bitten it would be about a day till death, with an adult it would take about 3 days if left untreated.
How much does a wolf spider weigh?

Which poisonous spiders live in china?
The two main types of poisonous spiders found in China are the black widow spider (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus) and the recluse spider (Loxosceles) species. These spiders can deliver venomous bites that can cause varying degrees of harm to humans, ranging from mild irritation to severe reactions requiring medical treatment. It is important to exercise caution and seek medical attention if bitten by a spider in China.
1 type if sea spider preys on soft sea sponge and sea slugs sea sponges and sea slugs
Sea spiders ( Pantopoda or pycnogonids) feed on sponges, cnidarians (jelly fish), and bryozoans.
Many spider species exhibit cannibalistic behavior, and some will even consume their own offspring if given the chance. This behavior is more common in species that have limited resources or are under stress, and it can be a way for the parent spider to ensure its own survival. However, cannibalism within a species can also help regulate population sizes and prevent overexploitation of resources.
Spiders will eat grubworms but will avoid earthworms ( i tried to feed them earthworms once but they seemed not to be interested in them at all.)
