People carefully captive-raise spiders aiming to get larger, long-legged, aggressive competitors. No spiders are harmed in the match thanks to skilled referees treating spiders. National Geographic Channel Asia will show a documentary program "Samurai Spiders" . It will be on air by July/Aug. all over the world.

Extractions: Spider Conservation in the United States By: Kevin L. Skerl Spiders, like many other invertebrates, have traditionally suffered a lack of attention from conservation professionals and the general public. As more information becomes available, however, scientists are gaining a better understanding of spiders' integral role in natural systems and of the need to improve protection efforts. Approximately 3,500 spider species, with an additional 350 yet undescribed, exist in the United States and Canada (Roth 1993). They are abundant predators in many terrestrial ecosystems, with estimates of populations in field habitats approaching one million individuals per hectare (Bristowe 1971). Almost all spiders are generalist predators, mainly eating insects and secondarily other spiders (Wise 1993); a few have become specialists (Nentwig 1986). Some larger species may even occasionally feed on small mice, birds, and lizards. Additionally, spiders are an important food source for birds, lizards, wasps and other animals. In a study of trunk arthropods, spiders provided a relatively constant food source throughout the year for bark-gleaning birds (Peterson et al. 1989). Hogstad (1984) demonstrated that spiders were a primary winter food source for goldcrests ( Regulus regulus ). Also, spider silk is important to bird species for nest building; 24 of 42 families of passerine birds and nearly all species of hummingbird depend on silk from spiders and caterpillars for nest construction (Hansel 1993).

Printer Format Topics Animal Control and Shelters Animals in Disaster Animals in Public Places Case Investigation Forms ... TDH Regional Offices This Bites Venomous Texas Spiders Venomous Spiders in Texas Texas has two venomous species of spiders, the black widow ( Latrodectus mactans ) and the brown recluse ( Loxosceles reclusa ). Both of these species of spiders can be found indoors and outdoors through out the State. The female black widow can be identified by its jet black color, globular abdomen with a reddish or yellowish hourglass on the underside. Male, black widow spiders are smaller, brown and nondescript. The black widow spider is aptly named because the female usually eats the male after mating. The venom of the black widow is a neurotoxin and can lead to severe systemic reactions and in rare cases, death. The black widow's venom is reportedly 15 times more toxic than the venom of the prairie rattlesnake. However, only a minute quantity is injected with each bite. The most severe reactions occur in children and older adults. Black widow spiders can frequently be found in woodpiles, boxes, outdoor toilets, meter boxes, under eaves, and other undisturbed areas. Brown recluse spiders are golden brown in color and can be identified by the characteristic dark brown to black fiddle-shaped pattern on the head region. Brown recluse venom has necrotizing enzymes that generally cause local or systemic reactions. These spiders commonly live in basements and garages of houses and can be found hiding between boards, boxes, and old towels and clothes in dark, undisturbed areas. Neither the black widow nor the brown recluse spiders are aggressive but they will both bite when accidentally trapped, disturbed or threatened.

Contact the Oklahoma Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for additional information. [Use or (405) 271-1122 for TTY/TDD] See our Plant Smarts page for information on "plant" hazards around the home. While many life-long Oklahoma adult residents may be familiar with all the perilous partners discussed here, it should be a good reference for parents to use in teaching and discussing such hazards with their children, as well as for international students and OU students hailing from other U.S. states who might not be familiar with the "local wildlife". Some of the species discussed here are common throughout the Southwest U.S. and in some cases nationwide or internationally.
