How many babies can a black widow have?
A female black widow spider can lay hundreds of eggs in a single egg sac, which can result in as many as several hundred spiderlings hatching. The exact number can vary based on factors such as the health and age of the female spider.
While there are spiders that may appear purple due to their coloring or iridescence, truly purple spiders do not exist in nature. Some species, such as the orchid mantis or the peacock spider, may have shades of purple in their markings.

Are funnel web spiders poisionous?
Most are not but one member of the genus, the hobo spider, is considered to be 'medically significant'.
Funnel spiders in Australian, unlike their North American cousin are very poisonous and can cause serious illness and in some cases death. If bitten, an anti-venom is needed.
The poison is more toxic to humans (primates) than other mammals. Cats and dogs, if bitten, appear to have some for of immunity to the poison. -------------------- The Sydney Funnel-Web's venom is the second deadliest spider venom in the world. It's known to kill in under a hour after the bite. However, they've created an anti-venom.
No. Not all spiders have the ability to spin webs. That's because not all spiders are capable of making silk. Those spiders that do not spin webs for a living to survive use many other tactics to catch their prey. This includes the Wolf Spider that stalks and pounces on it's victim like a cat. The Trap Door Spider lives up to it's name by making a home underground where it hides. With a foilage of leaves, grass, and twigs that this spider created, its prey has nearly no chance of escaping. Why? By the time the Trap Door Spider lunges at its victim it is too late. (for the victim) There are thousands to millions of spiders that use many other tactics to catch prey besides spinning a web. Even some that haven't been discovered yet.

Do black widow spiders hibernate in winter?
Spiders like the garden orb weavers, argiopes, widow varieties that only live one season, will die in Winter, leaving behind their egg sac for the next season. Other spiders like tarantulas and fishing spiders, that live longer may hibernate in Winter spending the cold weather under tree bark or rocks, or in cellars and attics. Some adults survive by preparing a winter nest of silken webbing under loose bark within which they are insulated from the cold. In several species, young spiderlings hatch out, then remain in a communal webbed egg sac through the winter. Those spiders that hibernate in leaf litter and in rock piles often are not deeply asleep, and on mild winter days may crawl about in search of insect food that is plentiful and easy to secure in its dormant state. Young spiders often take refuge in moss, and should you bring a clump into the house, be prepared to have spiderlings and many other little hibernating creatures crawl out as warmth unlocks their muscles and increases their metabolism and consumption of oxygen.
What does a baboon spider look like?
Baboon spiders are large, hairy spiders typically found in Africa. They have robust bodies, elongated legs, and prominent fangs. Their coloration can vary from dark brown to black, often with patterns or markings on their bodies.
Where do black widow spiders live?
Black Widow spiders live mostly in New England, and some have been seen in other bordering states. Black Widow spider bites are not very common and if you get a bite, you will know, because the pain is excruciating. If you are sure that you have a Black Widow spider bite, you absolutely need medical attention by a doctor.
What are the natural predators of a Black Widow spider?
Some natural predators of Black Widow spiders include birds, reptiles (such as lizards), and some insects like the mud dauber wasp, which is known to prey on Black Widow spiders. These predators help regulate the population of Black Widow spiders in their natural habitats.
The venom of the Orb Weaver is potent, but not dangerous to humans. Its venom is a neurotoxin similar to that of the black widow. However, its venom is not near as potent.
Orb weavers are reluctant to bite. Symptoms are usually negligible or mild local pain, numbness and swelling, with redness and possibly blisters forming. Occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur after a bite. Any pain should go away within 24 hours.
Spiders live all over the world, but few are native to more than a few habitats. They are well-adapted to various conditions, but thrive in warmer climates (in Antarctica, stowaway spiders are dependent on humans habitations for shelter). Essentially, spiders are found everywhere except for on the Antarctic mainland. Surprisingly, spiders the size of dinner plates have been found on the seabed far below the surface of Antarctic waters.
Many spiders spin webs in tree branches, but some live in holes that they disguise with their webs. Larger spiders, such as the tarantula, are free-hunting but generally only prey on insects.
It is unlikely that fish would eat spiders as they are not a natural part of their diet. Fish typically consume insects, smaller fish, and other aquatic creatures. Spiders are terrestrial organisms and would not be readily accessible to fish in their natural environment.
What type of wasp is totally black?
One example of a totally black wasp is the Cerceris fumipennis, also known as the smoky-winged beetle bandit. These wasps are solitary and are known for preying on beetles.
Menemerus bivittatus is a species of jumping spider commonly found in Australia. They are known for their agility and ability to jump long distances to catch prey. These spiders are typically small in size and have distinctive black and white markings on their bodies.
Will a spray that is meant to kill flies and wasps work to kill daddy long legs?
Probably. Most insecticides will work on spiders. But why would you want to? Daddy long legs are perfectly harmless. Whether you're talking about Daddy-longlegs (Opiliones) or Daddy-longlegs spiders (Pholcidae), neither one has ever caused harm to a human. Chase them into a small cardboard box and throw them outside. They will bite what they want to, which isn't you, your children, or your pets, unless you keep small insects or decomposing vegetation as pets.
I have had good luck with a product called "Demon". I get it from a local farm supply store, but some Ace Hardware stores carry it. I use it about twice a year and it provides excellent protection.
How do you find and catch a wild tarantula?
I guess it all depends on the area but during fall season the male tarantula will leave their burrow to search for mate, so you will find them wondering around on the ground. Or just wait for rain! Rain will force them out of their burrow to find higher grounds. From there... just reach out and grab him, its rare for tarantula to ever bite you... so don't be scared and grab him asap
Are there spiders that have wings and fly?
No, but there is a gliding one - Maratus Volans - a member of the jumping spider family can glide using wing flaps on it's abdomen. It's found in Australia I believe.
Also, several species of very small, lightweight spiders have a behavior called "ballooning" - where they spin out threads of silk that catch the wind and carry them on the breeze.
Spiders are carnivores because they primarily feed on other animals, such as insects, small arthropods, and other spiders. Their predatory nature is adapted for hunting and capturing prey using their silk webs.
Can spiders survive in the snow?
While different species of spiders have different levels of cold tolerance, most spiders cannot survive in snowy conditions. Extreme cold temperatures can cause spiders to become immobile and eventually die due to their inability to move or find food. Some spiders may seek shelter in underground burrows or within buildings to survive winter.
Do black widows have egg sacs without mating?
No, black widows need to mate in order to produce fertilized eggs that will develop into viable offspring. Without mating, the eggs will not be fertilized and will not hatch into spiderlings.
Why are jointed appendages considered an important adaptation during the evolution of arthopods?
The primary adaptation of an arthropod is not the jointed appendage, funnily enough it's what covers the rest of it.
Chiten, the hard exoskeleton of arthropods allowed them to evolve in millions of different shapes and forms, while at the same time providing a protective armour casing.
Ever wonder why the insect life was not affeced by Chernobyll, or why a crayfish doesn't cook in a microwave? The exoskeleton in Arthropods is the key to their success - they, along with other invertebrates, take up 75% of all life on the planet.
Is a spider a the third trophic level?
Yes, a spider is typically considered to be a secondary consumer and therefore would be at the third trophic level in a food chain. Spiders feed on primary consumers such as insects, which are at the second trophic level.
