Spiders

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It really depends on what spider bit you. If it is a poisonous spider, get it checked out immedietly, however if it is just a normal spider that has bit you, but the bite hasn't gone away after a week or so, I recommend getting it checked out by a doctor just to make sure it hasn't got infected because that could be more serious that the bite itself but can be cured with a simple injection or cream.

The lifespan of an ant can vary depending on the species, but typically worker ants live for a few months to a couple of years. Ant colonies can last for many years, with multiple generations of ants passing through the colony during that time.

The insect that has eyes in its knees is the praying mantis. These eyes are known as ocelli and help the mantis detect light and movement.

Which ever way you look at it you are most likely correct. Usually what i see is they are tan with brown spots.

Yes, when I had frostbite on my finger, it felt tingly and numb. Eventually, blisters will form, after the blisters go down which might take a while, the entire layer of frostbitten skin will go dry and will have to be peeled off.

Spider do not have backbones; spiders have an exoskeleton (their bodies are supported by the outer shell of their bodies which is made of chitin).

Spiders are typically not included on a traditional food pyramid as they are not commonly consumed by humans. In the context of their own food chain, spiders are carnivores that consume insects, small invertebrates, and sometimes even other spiders.

It is possible that having three spider bites in a row could indicate that there is a spider infestation in your living environment. It is recommended to seek medical attention to ensure proper treatment for the bites and to address the underlying issue of the infestation.

No, they have camera style eyes. Some spiders have very well developed vision and their eyes reflect that. See reviews by F. Barth, M. Land, R. Foelix and other arachnologists for details; also look at pics of Dinopis and Salticidae (jumping spiders)

Spiders do not have a skeleton on the inside of their body. They have what is called an "exoskeleton" which is basically a hardened outer shell that covers their entire body.
Spiders have an exoskeleton.

Spiders usually have eight eyes (some have six or fewer), but few have good eyesight. They rely instead on touch, vibration and taste stimuli to navigate and find their prey. Most are able to detect little more than light-dark intensity changes which stimulate nocturnal web building, hunting or wandering activities and rapid movement to allow quick reactions against daytime predators (e.g. by dropping from webs). Some spiders have median eyes that can detect polarised light and they use this ability to navigate while hunting. From http://australianmuseum.net.au/How-spiders-see-the-world
