Spider click to enlarge Photo by: Oxford Scientific Films Spider, common name for about 34,000 species of arthropod animals having eight walking legs, anterior appendages bearing fangs and poison glands, and specialized reproductive organs on the second appendages of the male. They commonly make extensive use of silk that they spin. Like other arachnid species, spiders are terrestrial, although a few have adapted to freshwater life by trapping air bubbles underwater and carrying the bubbles with them. Spiders are numerous and occur worldwide. Although most are less than 1 cm (less than 0.4 in) long, the largest has a body length of about 9 cm (about 3.6 in), and spider leg spans can be much greater. Structure click to enlarge Microsoft Illustration The digestive system of spiders is adapted exclusively to taking up liquid food, because the animals generally digest their prey outside the body and then suck the fluid. The fairly complex brain is larger or smaller in certain parts, depending on whether the animal locates prey mainly by touch or vision. Venom Spiders are generally carnivorous and feed only on living prey. They can crush it with processes on the pedipalps, and the chelicerae almost always have glands that can inject a venom. The bite of some large spiders can be painful, but most species are too small to break human skin, and only a few are dangerous to humans. The latter are mainly the black widow spider and its close relatives, which are nonaggressive and bite humans only in defense. Their painful bite is followed by faintness, difficulty in breathing, and other symptoms; although the bite is seldom fatal, especially if it is inflicted on healthy adults, medical attention for it should be sought at once.

More about Spiders click to enlarge Photo by: John Serrao/Photo Researchers, Inc. Silk Spider silk is a fibrous protein that is secreted as a fluid and forms a polymer, on being stretched, that is much stronger than steel and further resists breakage by its elasticity. A single spider can spin several kinds of silk. Although some other invertebrates also spin silk, spiders put this ability to the most spectacular variety of uses. For example, they form draglines that help them to find their way about and to catch themselves if they fall. Small and, especially, young spiders spin a "parachute" thread that enables them to be carried by the wind, sometimes for hundreds of kilometers. The males use silk in transferring sperm to the palpal organ, and the females make cocoons with it. Silk is also used to make nests and other chambers and to line burrows. The most familiar and amazing use of silk by many species, however, is in making insect traps called spiderwebs. Once prey is caught in such a web, the spider may wrap it in more silk. The diverse webs spun by spiders provide a remarkable example of the evolution of instinctive behavior. A spider does not have to learn how to make a web, although the spinning itself can be adapted to unique circumstances, including the webs spun by spiders under zero gravitation in spacecraft. The simplest webs are irregular and generally laid out along the ground. More advanced webs, particularly of orb-weaver spiders, are highly intricate, raised above the ground, and oriented to intercept the paths of flying insects. The spinning itself is a complex process involving the placement and then removal of scaffolding spirals and a combination of sticky and nonsticky strands. In some cases a number of spiders will form a kind of communal web, but spiders in general are not social. Such spiders rely largely on the sense of touch.

search site map library links ... the community Australia leads the world in its number of resident venomous spiders as well as the strength of their toxicity. However, of almost 9,800 species (about 2,500 species have been named)of spiders in 70 families throughout the country, most are perfectly harmless and interesting. As with other animal types, spider diversity in the Wet Tropics is broad and many fascinating species occur here that range from the ominously large to the tiny and hardly noticed, and from the dullest browns or black to the vibrantly hued or deceptively shaped. Spiders are classified according the strategies they use for feeding. Spiders which appeared earlier in the evolutionary scale feed by waiting in a burrow for food to come along before grabbing it. Following them are spiders which actively wander looking for food and which catch it by ambush or chasing it down. The evolution of flying insects created a need for spiders to evolve new ways of catching food which couldn't be chased and so the earliest web weavers arose. A few facts about spiders: Most spiders feed on insects and other arthropods but when it comes to the Bird-eating Spider (see the Primitive spiders page ), there is some speculation about larger prey being consumed such as warm blooded animals and frogs.

Since I'm mentioned on the Internet as a spider specialist, some of the public inquiries come from distant places. I also lecture on spiders to both adult and elementary-school audiences, and these audiences always have questions and comments; as do casual acquaintances when they first learn that I work with spiders. The concerns voiced by these people originate from a widespread and surprisingly uniform set of assumptions and "general knowledge" about spiders.

This fear is partly due to myths and to the notoriety of harmful species such as the brown recluse spider (see HYG-2061 ) and the black widow spider (see HYG-2061A ). Several species of sac spiders (clubionids) are suspected of being responsible for most spider bites, especially ones occurring indoors (see HYG-2060A). Sac spider venom is cytotoxic, causing tissues at the bite site to die. However, the vast majority of spiders are harmless to humans. Although spiders are often unpopular, the venom of most species is not very toxic to humans, usually resulting in no more than a slight swelling, inflammation, or itching sensation. Most spiders’ fangs are too small or weak to puncture human skin. Spiders usually will not attempt to bite unless accidentally trapped against the skin or grasped, although some species actively guard their egg sacs or young. Spiders are beneficial predators that reduce pest populations (flies, crickets, mites, etc.) in and around homes, yards, gardens, and crops. Wholesale destruction of spiders should be avoided.

35. Landscape: Garden Spiders There are two general groups of spiders—the web spinners and the hunters. Web spinning spiders, as their name implies, create elaborate orbs of silk to http://www.uwex.edu/ces/wihort/landscape/GardenSpiders.htm

Garden Spiders Karen Delahaut - IPM Outreach Specialist, University of Wisconsin Anyone who gardens has undoubtedly come into contact with spiders at one time or another. Greek mythology is responsible for the spider getting its name. The princess Arachne challenged the goddess Athene to a weaving contest. When Arachne lost, she was turned into a spider and destined to weave forever. Spiders belong to the group of arthropods called Arachnids. There are more than 35,000 named species of spiders in the world with 3,000 of them making their home in North America. Spiders differ from insects in that spiders have 8 legs, not 6; they also have only 2 body regions (a cephalothorax and abdomen) instead of 3 (head, thorax, abdomen);and they lack wings and antennae, both of which insects possess. Finally, spiders possess unique organs beneath their abdomen called spinnerets. These 6 spinnerets allow the spider to produce silk throughout their entire life while only a few insects can produce silk and only during specific life stages. Spiders have unique mouthparts comprised of chelicerae, or jaws, that end in fangs. Although most spiders are venomous, they are harmless to humans with a few exceptions—the black widow and the brown recluse being the most common. The venom produced by spiders is used to paralyze and kill their prey. Spiders rarely attack unless provoked and even then they are more likely to flee than fight. People often mistakenly blame spiders for bites caused by fleas, ticks, or mites. Most spiders don’t possess the mouthparts capable of breaking human skin.

37. Spiders Of Medical Importance (006) (267) In general, most spider bites will not harm most people except for slight discomfort for a limited time after being bitten. http://lancaster.unl.edu/enviro/pest/factsheets/006-94.htm

Top Ten Most Visited Web sites Spiders of Medical Importance by Barb Ogg, Ph.D., Extension Educator updated March 27, 2005 This resource covers medically important spiders: Black Widow Brown Recluse Parson Yellow Sac and "Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey; along came a spider, and sat down beside her; and frightened Miss Muffet away." "There was an old lady who swallowed a spider that wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she'll die." "'Step into my parlor,'" said the spider to the fly." PRINTABLE With rhymes like these, it is no wonder that many people view spiders with apprehension. And, the movie, "Arachnophobia," did not do much to dispel fears about these eight-legged creatures. There are about 2,000 kinds of spiders in the United States. Of these, only a few species are considered to have bites that are of medical importance. Spiders are very shy creatures. Most people get bitten because they are cleaning an area that has not been cleaned for a long time and they disturb a spider's web or nest. Spiders are often blamed for many more bites than they actually commit. In general, most spider bites will not harm most people except for slight discomfort for a limited time after being bitten. A few individuals may be hypersensitive to the bites of a particular species, but this allergic reaction won't be known until after the person gets bitten.

These pages contain over 500 pictures with 200 species of spiders that were photographed in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Northern-Territory. Pictures of spiders from NW-Europe and several links to venomous spiders and much more information can be found on the spider site of European spiders . This page is the main entry to more informative texts about spiders and their behaviour. Wolf spider , Dendrolycosa icadius Spiders are eight-legged creatures belonging to a group (phylum) called Arthropoda that are different from insects (phylum Insecta) on several easy to see characteristics. They have no antenna's, their eyes are like ours and not segmented, they have four pairs of legs. More general spider information can be found on these pages: Spider information Australian animals are made very dangerous by documentaries featuring sharks, box yellies, crocodiles, snakes and spiders, most of the time killing ferociously other creatures. Sometimes they are caught by fearless hunters in four-wheel drives or +2000 hp boats. It is true, bites of crocodiles, sharks and black mambas are to be avoided. It is also suggested that bites of spiders will almost kill you instantly or can cause the affected limb falling off by ulceration and necrotic lesions. Luckily for us that is not true.
