    Introduction
    Although diminutive in size, spiders have invoked fear and revulsion in humans throughout history. Because of this, they have been a source of endless fascination, the subject of numerous folktales and myths. To be certain, little Miss Muffet and the spider that frightened her are familiar to most people. Fears about spiders are largely unwarranted for they provide a great benefit to mankind by consuming vast numbers of insects in and around our homes. It is only a few species of spiders which are considered truly dangerous to humans. Therefore, it is important to be able to differentiate between relatively harmless spiders and those which should be avoided and/or controlled. The species of spiders that cause the most concern in the home or school environment are the black widow, brown recluse, and the aggressive house/hobo spider. These spiders are potentially dangerous to humans, and bites from these spiders may cause severe reactions or even death. However, these spiders will usually only bite if provoked, and only under certain circumstances.
    First Aid for Spider Bites
    If possible, capture the spider so the specimen can be taken to a doctor. Proper treatment may depend on identifying the species. Even the squashed remains of the spider can be useful for identification purposes.

    SPIDER, common name for about 34,000 species of ARTHROPOD animals constituting the order Araneae in the class Arachnida, which also includes scorpions, mites, and ticks. Spiders have 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, Theraphosa leblondi of Guyana, has a body length of about 9 cm (about 3.6 in), and spider leg spans can be much greater.
    Structure top 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 top 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 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.

    The spiders are the best known members of the class Arachnida, which also includes the mites, ticks, scorpions and other scorpion-like creatures.
    The bodies of all of the Arachnida have two main parts; the prosoma (or cephalothorax) and the opisthosoma (or abdomen). The prosoma bears six pairs of appendages: the chelicera (jaws), the pedipalps, and four pairs of legs. The chelicera are located forward of the mouth, and are used for holding, piercing, and the injection of poisons which paralyse the prey organism usually insects or other spiders.
    The spiders are very diverse in size, lifestyle and adaptation. Something like 40,000 species have been described, and there remain many regions on Earth where studies of spiders have not yet been undertaken.
    Spiders, like all arthropods, grow in size by a process of moulting, and a mature spider will have moulted between two and twelve times during its lifetime. Females take longer to mature than males, and undergo a larger number of moults. A spider which is ready to moult usually finds a quiet place to hang by its claws, and by increasing the blood pressure in the prosoma, causes the old cuticle to crack in a line which runs around the prosoma above the level of the legs, and below the eyes.

    Common Spiders In and Around Homes
    Jeffrey Hahn, Phil Pellitteri and Donald Lewis
    Spiders are a common and familiar group of arthropods. They are similar to insects in that they both have exoskeletons (their skeletons are on the outside of their bodies) and jointed legs. However, spiders differ from insects in several ways (see table 1). Table 1. Differences between spiders and insects body regions Spiders Insects two (cephalothorax, abdomen) three (head, thorax, abdomen) legs eight six eyes simple, usually eight (rarely six) compound, two wings none four (sometimes two or none) antennae none two mouthparts chelicerae (fangs) mandibles (jaws) Any arthropods that share the same characteristics as spiders are known as arachnids . Other arachnids, or spider relatives, include ticks, daddy-longlegs, scorpions, and mites. Another difference between spiders and insects is that all spiders can produce silk throughout their lifetime. However, just a few insects can produce silk, and then at only certain times during their life. Spiders use silk to build webs and other types of snares, egg cases, draglines, and refuges. Silk is also produced by spiderlings (young spiders) during a process called ballooning in which the spiderlings shoot silk into the air and are carried away by the wind.

    General Spiders are arachnids, a group of arthropods that include scorpions, harvestmen (daddy-long- legs), mites, and ticks. Approximately 3,500 species occur in North America. Spiders, like insects (another group of arthropods), have jointed legs and a hard external skeleton. They have four pairs of legs, with a body divided into two regions (cephalothorax and abdomen), while insects have three pair of legs and their body is divided into three regions: head, thorax and abdomen. The top part of the cephalothorax is called the carapace. Spiders have no wings or antennae, but have enlarged sharply pointed jaws (chelicerae) with fangs. All spiders are predators. They feed on a wide variety of insects and other soft-bodied invertebrate animals. Generally, spiders attack and subdue their prey by biting them with their fangs (a small group lacks venom glands) to inject a poison. Thus, all spiders are venomous. However, fear of spiders is unjustified since most are too small or possess venom too weak to harm humans. Only a few spiders have bites that are considered dangerous to humans. The most dangerous spiders to humans in North America are the widow spiders ( Latrodectus spp.), recluse spiders (

    The Department of Invertebrates is responsible for research and curation of all invertebrate collections at the museum. The Department consists of Arachnida, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata and Orthoptera collections. Class Arachnida The Spider and Scorpion collections are amongst the most important in South Africa, while the Solifuge collection is probably the largest. Spiders are widely admired for the way in which they use silken threads to spin webs. The name Arachnidae, the class in the animal kingdom to which all spiders belong is derived from the Greek word arachne , which means "spiders". Classification of spiders according to their habitat are as follow: Ground-living, Burrow-living, Free-living ground spiders, Plant-living, Grass dwellers, Bark dwellers, Seed dwellers, Foliage dwellers, Flower dwellers, Web-living spiders, Tunnel webs, Sheet webs, Cast webs and Swing webs. Worldwide approximately 30 000 spider species have been formally described to date. The Arachnida also includes a diverse array of smaller groups, including scorpions (1200 species), whip scorpions (100 species), palpigrades (60 species), pseudoscorpions (2000 species), solpugids (900 species), and harvestmen (5000 species). Nearly all species are terrestrial. In southern Africa, which has a rich spider fauna, about 5000 different species belonging to 66 different families are found. A thorough knowledge of the taxonomy, biology and ecology of southern African spider fauna by itself is a lifetime work. A review of our spider fauna using the formal taxonomic framework, which reflects evolutionary relationships, will be voluminous.

    ELIMINATING SPIDERS AROUND HOMES AND BUILDINGS
    By Mike Potter, Extension Entomologist University of Kentucky College of Agriculture
    Many different kinds of spiders live in and around buildings. Some, such as garden and cellar spiders, construct webs to help entrap their prey. Others, including the wolf spiders, are free-roaming and make no webs. Most spiders are harmless and in fact are beneficial because they prey upon flies, crickets and other insects. They generally will not attempt to bite humans unless held or accidentally trapped. Moreover, the majority of spiders have fangs too small or weak to puncture human skin. Of the hundreds of species found in Kentucky, only the black widow and brown recluse are dangerous. Fortunately, both are relatively uncommon, and have markings which can be used to distinguish them from other non-threatening species.
    Black Widow Spider
    USDA Insect and Plant Disease Slide Set Of the spiders capable of inflicting a poisonous bite, black widows are the most notorious. The female is about 1/2-inch long, shiny black and usually has a red hourglass mark on the underside of the abdomen. In some varieties the hourglass mark may be reduced to two separate spots. Spiderlings and male spiders are smaller than the females and have several red dots on the abdomen’s upper side.

    56. Reproduction In Spiders
    As a general rule larger spiders produce more eggs but there are exceptions. Here a few examples of spider eggs per coccoon from England, the number of

    Reproduction in Spiders
    Like all animals spiders reproduce. The biology of reproduction has two sides to it. First there is that anatomy and physiology of the reproductive organs and secondly there is the ecology of boy meets girl. For information on the anantomy of spider reproductive organs oy need to see the Spider Anatomy page. For information on behaviour scroll on. While the largest and most fascinating aspects of the variation come in the ways that male spiders circumvent the predatory natures of female spiders, there other areas that show variation as well and I would like to look a little more closely at these first. When a male spider reaches maturity and is ready to start looking for a mate he first spins a sperm web. This structure varies from family to family, but generally it consists of a few support strands and a small triangle of tight web at or near one edge. The male spider then places the epigastric furrow of his abdomen against the triangle and, often rocking up and down, releases a drop of sperm on to it. Then he dips his pedipalps into the sperm which absorbs some of the sperm, often he will moisten the tips of his pedipalps with his mouthparts first, and he may also climb under the web and then reach up and around to load his pedipalps. The genus Scytodes offers one good example of a variation. Here the sperm web has been reduced to a single thread which the male draws across his genital opening with his 3rd pair of legs. The drop of sperm collects on this and is then tranferred to the pedipalps.

    Spider Venom
    General Info
    Almost all spiders possess venom. They inject it into their prey through fangs to induce paralysis and immobilisation so that it can either be eaten right away or kept for later. Digestive fluids containing enzymes are regurgitated onto or into the prey and the digestive juices are subsequently ingested. Contrary to popular belief, the digestive fluids are not injected into the prey through the fangs but after the prey has been immobilised. Spider poison is not always injected into other organisms. Some spider species have toxins on body hairs that are scraped onto predators to cause eye and skin irritation or temporary blindness, allowing the spider to escape. Spitting spiders spray glue-venom to capture their prey. Most spiders are actually too small to bite humans since their fangs are unable to penetrate the skin and of those that do break the skin. Out of about 40,000 species only 20 30 have venom potent enough to cause harm to humans and they only bite if they feel threatened. The actual effect of the venom depends largely on age, health and amount injected.

    Young Redbacks and adult males Young Redback Spiders and adult males may have considerably more pattern, and look quite different from adult females.
    Young male redback
    Young female redback
    When newly-hatched, the young Redback is dirty-white in colour. It exhibits six black spots on the top of the abdomen and a white hourglass-shaped mark underneath. As the young mature, they darken. The hourglass mark becomes red or orange, and the upper abdomen exhibits the characteristic red or orange stripe. The head and legs may become brown rather than black. The sides of the abdomen can be either entirely white or cream, or brown with white striations coming out from a red or orange stripe. Often the only black seen is a band beside the stripe. Male Redback Spiders are considerably smaller than the female and are rarely seen. Small Redbacks suspected of being males are usually young females.
