How many types of spiders are there?

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.

How do you get rid of brown recluse spiders?

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.

How do spiders make webs?

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.

If poisonous spiders bite a plant will it poison and kill the plant as it does to humans?

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.

'Pepsis formosa' is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the tarantula hawk wasp. The common name refers to the female's successful preying on far larger tarantula spiders.

She lays an egg on top of the spider and then closes up the burrow. She repeats these actions about twenty [20] times.

When the female tarantula hawk wasp is finished, she has about 20 eggs waiting to hatch into larvae. Each larva will have access to fresh food. In each of 20 burrows, they will feast upon their own immobilized, but still very much alive spider.
