Spiders are produced from eggs laid by adult female spiders. Each egg sac can contain hundreds of eggs, which hatch into spiderlings that eventually grow into adult spiders. The process of spider reproduction involves mating between a male and female spider, with the female typically being responsible for egg-laying and caring for the young until they are independent.
Spiders can run at speeds of up to 1.73 feet per second, which is roughly equivalent to 1.18 miles per hour. Their running speed varies depending on the species and size of the spider.
Is it true that only female spiders can spin webs?
Different species vary - some spiders don't spin webs.. but it is not true that only female spiders spin webs - both male and female do - otherwise how would the male spiders catch their food?
Where does the black widow migrate?
The black widow spider migrates into homes for warmth. They do not seek the typical migration patterns of other spiders.
"You either have the worlds only "4 eyed spider" or a great imagination. You might consider taking it to your local college and having someone in the entomology department take a look at it. You never know, you might have a genetic anomaly on your hands that could make you famous."
The above answer is incorrect. You have what is known as a "Daring Jumping Spider", or Phidippus audax. They do have 4 eyes aiding in their excellent eye sight. They are highly intelligent and hunt almost like a cat, by pouncing on their prey. They are harmless to humans.
What is the second biggest spider?
The Goliath birdeater (Theraphosa blondi) holds the title for the second largest spider species in the world. They can have a leg span of up to 11 inches and are native to South America. Despite their intimidating size, they are not considered dangerously venomous to humans.
Cave spiders are venomous, but their bite is not typically dangerous to humans. The venom can cause some pain, swelling, and redness, but serious complications are rare. It's best to avoid contact with cave spiders to prevent getting bitten.
Can a spider lay eggs in your belly button?
without doing any research into it, my guess would be yes they can. I can't imagine a spider wanting to though, as your belly button seems too small to even make a web. Unless your in the Antarctic and your buttons the only warm place available then I wouldn't worry about it...
What type of spiders can kill you?
the deadliest snake is the Black Mamba because it can kill 200 people per bite. the Box Jellyfish has a very poisonous sting, in fact it is the deadliest jellyfish in the world. if you get stung, you will most likely be shocked from the sting, and drown, so you want to have someone with yo in case you get stung swimming. the Box Jellyfish lives i tropical places like Cuba, Hawaii, Australia, and Japan. They can also be found by the Great Barrier Reef. the Poison Dart Frog has the extreme chance of fatality, and are found in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America.
How venomous are red widow spiders?
Male spiders produce the toxins to help with their own hunting, but they make such a diluted version that they're not harmful to most people. Female black widows, on the other hand, have quickly evolved super concentrated venom that can kill a person. Each year, about 2,200 people report being bitten by a black widow, but most recover within 24 hours with medical treatment. Many people who are bitten develop few symptoms since the spider may not inject its venom. Black widows are not especially aggressive spiders, and they rarely bite humans unless startled or otherwise threatened.[16
Contrary to popular belief, most people who are bitten suffer no serious damage, let alone death. Fatal bites were reported in the early 20th century mostly with Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, the Mediterranean black widow.[
Since the venom is not likely to be life-threatening, antivenom has been used as pain relief and not to save lives.[18] However, a study demonstrated that antivenom and placebo added to standardized pain medication had similar improvement in pain and resolution of symptoms.
Are the red back spiders cold or warm blooded?
COLD BLOODED SINCE ALL REPTILES ARE THE SAME FAMILY
Newts are not reptiles as they belong to the Lissamphibia Class and not Reptilia, they are however Ectotherms and so ARE cold blooded.
How do spiders use the thermoregulation system?
Spiders use their thermoregulation system to control their body temperature by moving to warmer or cooler areas. They can bask in the sun to warm up or hide in the shade to cool down. This helps them maintain their optimal body temperature for performing activities such as hunting or mating.
This might not be the answer you want, but I have only heard of the Green Orb as a huge, asteroid-sized planetary life form in one of the Tom Swift Jr. science fiction novels, entitled TOM SWIFT AND HIS 3-D TELEJECTOR. It was something on the order of a Polyp or Coral reef and was a communal life form with a central, dominant personality. It entered Cislunar ( between earth and moon) space in one of the Swift novels and the scientists immediately took notice. It was an allied life form, or at least not one hostile to earth life. In close range it communicated by ESP. It was one of the more creative novels in the series, The New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures, and dealt with a real alien mystery. In an unpublished rewrite with the same title, the Green Orb is a 2-D world traveling toward the sun whose inhabitants don't believe in the existence of the earth.

There are many different kinds of spiders in the world. These spiders all eat at different frequencies based on their species.
How do spiders make their webs?

Jumping spiders have a wide range of predators including larger spiders, birds, reptiles, and some insects like wasps. Predators rely on jumping spiders as a food source due to their small size and high mobility.

How many babies do black widows have?
Black widows can lay up to 400 eggs in a single egg sac, but on average they have around 250 eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the baby black widows will usually stay close to the mother until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
What eats the brown recluse spider?
Brown recluse spiders are preyed upon by certain predators such as birds, other spiders (like the jumping spider), and some insects. Additionally, some small mammals like shrews and rodents may also feed on brown recluse spiders.
Do female spiders make neat webs and male spiders make messy webs?
Not necessarily. Both female and male spiders are capable of making various types of webs. The complexity and appearance of a spider's web are often species-specific rather than being determined by gender. However, some species do exhibit differences in web design based on their hunting strategies.
Where do spiders go when their webs are broken?
Spiders will typically rebuild or repair their webs if they are broken. They will use their silk-spinning abilities to construct a new web in the same location or nearby. If the web is significantly damaged, they may abandon it and build a new one elsewhere.
