Spiders

Almost all spiders are carnivores that specialize on insects. There is only one spider known that gets all or most of its food from plant life, and that is one that eats pollen. Technically, those spiders are vegetarians, but they do not eat the plants that produce the pollen so they probably should not be regarded as herbivores.

Yes, spiders are carnivores. They primarily feed on insects and other small arthropods that they catch in their webs or through hunting.

The process is called "prey wrapping," where the spider creates a temporary sketch of the web design by laying down a non-sticky pattern before spinning the final sticky web for catching prey.

We find chitin in the exoskeleton of arthropods. This includs insects, arachnids (like spiders), and crustaceans (like crabs and lobsters). The chemical is actually a polymer, and it has (C8H13O5N)n for a chemical formula. A link can be found below.

Yes, Black Widow spiders do come out at night. Although, they can also come out at day-time. But no need to worry. Black Widows prefer the outdoors and are really shy. They will only harm you if they feel threatened.

-Spiders are cool

The crab spider relies on flowers for camouflage and ambushing prey, while the flower benefits from the spider's presence as it helps protect the plant from herbivores. This mutualistic relationship is an example of symbiosis, where both species benefit from their interactions.

it is said to believe that humans eat about one pound of insects every year without even knowing it!

But that is just myth!! There is no scientific proof that we eat a pound of insects every year.

There are insect pieces in almost all processed foods sold in any grocery store. How much processed food we eat determines how many bugs we eat. YAY!

Great question! And also, why aren't snakes poisoned by theirs? In general a creature that uses poison in some form CAN die from their own bite in the same way that you can die from your own stomach acid, urine, feces, bile, etc. if it gets into your blood stream. Various organs have their own fluids and microbial life that should not get into other organs! What might be even stranger is that you have bacteria in your mouth that can kill you if it gets into your lungs, and bacteria in your urethra that causes great problems if it gets into your bladder!

The spider you are describing is most likely the "Theridion grallator," also known as the happy face spider. It is found in Hawaii and its unique markings on its back resemble a smiling face. These spiders are harmless to humans and are known for their distinct appearance.

The Mexican redknee is a tarantula and classed as an arachnid, and as such has eight legs.

Some common types of spiders found in Montana include wolf spiders, orb-weaver spiders, grass spiders, and cellar spiders. Additionally, you may also come across jumping spiders, crab spiders, and funnel weaver spiders in the state.

Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing chelicerate arthropods that have eight legs, and chelicerae modified into fangs that inject venom. Spiders are found world-wide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every ecological niche with the exception of air and sea colonization. As of 2008, approximately 40,000 spider species, and 109 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been confusion within the scientific community as to how all these genera should be classified, as evidenced by the over 20 different classifications that have been proposed since 1900.

Crab spiders are white as adult females. The arachnids in question can be all white or yellow, with the color changing in accord with ambush hunting and environmental niche needs. The goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) is a stunning example of such an arachnid coloration in North American species.

If you are allergic to blue mud dauber wasp stings, seek medical attention immediately. Call emergency services and inform them of your allergy and the situation. Follow any recommendations given by medical professionals to manage the allergic reaction.

catch them in a jar

Well you could do that but I wouldn't recommend it. They are very poisonous and getting that close could be a bad idea. Brown recluse spiders are very hard to find as their name suggests. They typically hide in dark out of the way places. When I was in college we had a problem with these spiders and let me tell you it was enough to keep you up at night. I would call an exterminator. Also purchase some sticky traps. They are cardboard hollow boxes coated with a glu substance. This will trap the spiders and cause them to die fairly quickly. It will also help you identify how bad the problem is and where they are hiding. Put them in your closet, under the bed, in your cabinets, and any other out of the way places. -

- If you catch one look closely for the violen shape on their back. Many people think they have brown recluses but they are a similar looking spider. Until they are gone check your shoes before you put them on. This is a common hiding spot and often bites occur when your foot forces the spider into the toe of the shoe. Don't mess around with them call a professional and take care of the problem. You don't want these little buggers multiplying. If you think you have been bit seek the care of a doctor as quickly as possible. The bite can cause some nasty scarring if not treated promptly, but in some cases, that will be the least of your concerns as the spider's bite has a chance of causing necrosis. For more information about necrosis, i suggest you visit the wikipedia page.

A spider web is made of silk. Spiders have what is called spinneret glands. These glands produce the silk spiders use when they construct their webs and are located on the abdomen, usually on the bottom. The silk is very light as needed for the wind to carry it. Spiders can make sticky and nonsticky silk. The spider knows how to use both to build the most sturdy web possible. Spiders are careful when constructing webs to make it possible to stay on the parts that are not sticky to prevent themselves from becoming glued to their own web.

The Brown Recluse Spider (Loxosceles Reclusa) is a brown to deep yellow colored spider, native to south-western parts of the United states, and are venomous. Kingdom- Animalia, then Phylum- Arthropoda, Class- Arachnida, Order- Araneae, Family- Sicariidae, then Genus- Loxosceles, ending with Species- L. reclusa.

White moths typically feed on nectar from flowers. Some species may also consume tree sap or rotting fruit. Additionally, certain white moth caterpillars feed on a variety of plants, including leaves, stems, and flowers.

Probably not. Just depends on the spider and the plant. You should know that not many spiders have the venom to actually kill a human being although some do. Plants and humans are completely different. What may harm one may not hurt the other. Also, animals, such as spiders and snakes, develop their venom to target a specific prey. Two kinds of toxins include hemotoxins and neurotoxins, since plants have neither blood (affected by hemotoxins) or nerve cells (affected by neurotoxins), plants are generally safe from the harmful affects we humans experience from certain spiders and snakes.

People may be afraid of spiders due to their appearance, the possibility of being bitten, or a fear that has been passed down through generations. This fear of spiders is known as arachnophobia and can vary in intensity from person to person.

Fibroids are benign tumors that can develop in the uterus due to hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and estrogen levels. They can also be influenced by factors like age, obesity, and family history. The exact cause of fibroids is not fully understood.

On average, there are around 20-30 species of spiders that can be found in a typical household. The actual number of individual spiders can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, cleanliness, and access to food sources. Most spiders are harmless and actually help control other pests in the home.
