Fear of Spiders
by John E. Cother
ISBN: 1-933016-27-2
Release date: 11-05 What if it was the summer of 1965, you were fourteen, and your father abandoned your family and your mother drank herself to death? What if during this one crazy summer you fell wildly in love with a girl? From their tiny Mississippi hometown to the mountains of North Carolina, JT and his sister, Lesi begin a series of adventures, sometimes hilarious and other times frightening—and JT falls in love, but not before their lives take a dangerous and harrowing turn when brother and sister are attacked and seriously injured by an intruder when their aunt leaves them alone for a night to return to her job as a nurse. On the journey to understanding their deceased mother and to finding the father who abandoned them, JT and Lesi discover much more—they find themselves and a new life in the process—and celebrate the miracle called the human spirit. About the Author JOHN E. COTHER earned a Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in Education and spent his next 33 years as an elementary and junior high school principal. His comprehensive experience working with children offered Mr. Cother rare insight into the resiliency of teens, and served as the backdrop for his novel.

AN UPDATED CHECKLIST OF THE
SPIDERS OF ARKANSAS
Peggy Rae Dorris, Ph.D.
Henderson State University
CONTENTS
Preface vi Introduction Methodology Checklist of Spiders Literature Cited
PREFACE
The writer has studied spiders in Arkansas from 1966 to the present time with each major Physiographic Region (Pell 1983) of the state being covered to try to determine the spider fauna. These natural regions of Arkansas show significant ecological differences with habitat diversity including mountains, upland hardwoods, bottomland hardwoods, loblolly -shortleaf pine, cedar glade, upland prairie, to caves. Although no study is definitive, it is intended that this list will be of use to arachnologists and researchers in determining the biodiversity for Arkansas.
INTRODUCTION
This updated checklist of spiders is based on published and unpublished records available to the author. At present, 35 families, 204 genera, and 546 species of spiders have been identified in Arkansas. Spider fauna of the natural areas of Arkansas have been investigated by Dorris, (1968, 1969, 1972, 1980, 1985, 1986, 1989, 1991; Dorris and Burnside, 1977; Beck and Dorris, 1982, 1983; Dorris and Saugey, 1983; Dorris and Burris, 1992; Dorris, Robison, and Carlton, 1995; Parker and Dorris, 1995; Hill, Dorris, and Thompson, 1995). Exline (1962) identified two new gnaphosid spiders, McDaniel et al (1979) and Peck and Peck (1982) have contributed records of species occurring in Arkansas caves, and Dorris and Saugey (1983) investigated spiders occurring in abandoned mines and tunnels.

    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.

    Dr. John D. Hopkins, Assistant Specialist - Entomology and Insecticide Testing Coordinators Spiders are not insects, but like insects they have jointed legs and a hard outer skeleton. In contrast to insects, spiders have four pairs of legs, with a body divided into only two regions (cephalothorax and abdomen). They have no wings or antennae, but have jaws which are a pair of enlarged structures (chelicerae) called fangs. All spiders feed on living animal life. Their “jaws” and venom are simply a means of capturing and subduing prey. The majority of spiders either cannot effectively pierce man’s skin or never have the opportunity to do so. Or if they do, the venom at the most causes only trivial, transient pain, a slight local reaction at the site where the venom is injected or no reaction at all. Many people fear spiders because they believe they are aggressive and will seek to bite man with little or no provocation. On the contrary, most spiders are not aggressive. Spiders rush across their webs to investigate a disturbance which creates a situation where spiders appear to be aggressive. This is a natural reaction, as spiders employ webs to entrap other animals for food, and the rush to investigate is merely a hunting reaction.

    Characteristic form and structure of spiders.
    Spiders
    Richard M. Houseman
    Department of Entomology Spiders belong to the order Araneae of the class Arachnida. They are most closely related to scorpions, ticks and mites. Spiders have a body composed of two regions called the cephalothorax (head) and abdomen (body). They have eight legs, no antennae or wings, and an unsegmented abdomen. Four, six or eight eyes are located at the front of the cephalothorax. Also located at the front of the cephalothorax are the pedipalps, appendages used for handling food (see above). Spinnerets are located on the posterior tip of the abdomen. These structures are used to produce silk. Silk is used by spiders to make webs, construct egg sacs, line nests, wrap captured prey, or construct "balloons" with which to travel on air currents over large distances.
