Orb Weaver Spider

 

  

The Life of Animals | Orb Weaver Spider | In general, three claws builder web spiders with webs flat spiral of sticky capture silk. The spider holds the line and then falls other center line, so that a "Y". The third clamp is used to remove the non-sticky web. One feature is that the errors of insect prey in sticky lines is stunned by a quick snack and then wrapped in silk. If the prey is a venomous insect, like a wasp, wrapping may precede biting. Many orb-weaving spiders build a new web each day. In general, the night will consume the spider, the old network rest for approximately one hour, then weaving a web again in the same general location.Some spiders do not build webs at all. Interestingly, both types of balls spiders are highly camouflaged and difficult to locate. The spiny orb-weaving spiders in the genera Gasteracantha Micrathena and look like plant seeds or thorns stuck in their bullet trains. A feature of the orbits of some orb-weavers is stabilimentum, a silk ribbon crossed the center of the web. It is found in a number of genera, but Argiope, which includes the common garden spider of Europe and the yellow garden spiders and tracks of North America, is an excellent example.

 

The orb web is made of a frame and support beams with a sticky capture spiral superimposed and used spider silk Radspinne exceptional mechanical properties, the impact of flying prey to resist. The orb web of substrate on the web, probably derived from a web uneven ground or brushed sheet web. The change of a Web-ground with an antenna for horizontal and vertical web of bike trails, was authorized to capture prey flight. Fossil evidence shows that the star was already at that time, which allows simultaneous transmission of spider predators with their prey insect.

The ability of orb webs, to absorb the impact of flying led air attack insects spiders orbicularian dominant predators in many ecosystems. Insects and spiders have similar rates of diversification, which suggests that it is jointly issued, and the peak radiation occurred 100 Mya before the origin of angiosperms. More arachnid webs are vertical and spiders often hang upside down. Some are semi-Metepiera social and live in communal webs.

 

The true tissue Araneidae weaving with a sticky adhesive property and use Deinopoidea fibrils aqueous silk The Deinopoidea sticky and dry (including Uloboridae) have a cribellum - a flat surface, complex rotary disc, from which the tissue is released cribellate. The Araneoidea, or "ecribellate" Spiders do not have these two structures. The two families of orb-weavers are morphologically very different, but there are many similarities between your web form and web-design behavior. The cribellates preserve its traditional character, but was lost in escribellates cribellum.

Redback Spider

  

The Life of Animals | Redback Spider | The Redback spider is a member of the genus Latrodectus spider family Theridiidae in. Close relatives Katipo Redback (Latrodectus Katipo), which is originally from New Zealand. The common name of "Redback" is derived from its distinctive red stripe on the back of your abdomen. Other common names are Jockey spider, Murra ngura spider, spiders and Kapara Kanna-Jeri. Redback woman has a round body the size of a large pea (1cm long), with long, thin legs. On the underside of the abdomen there is a "hourglass" shaped red / orange dye. Juvenile spiders have additional white markings on the abdomen. It is a tangled web, Redback, disorganized irregular silk thin but strong. The rear portion of the web forms a funnel retreat where the spider and egg sacs are found. This area has a vertical, sticky catching lines that run to ground attachments.

 

The Redback spider is one of only two animals to date where the man was found to actively support the woman in sexual cannibalism. In the process of mating to place on the much smaller male somersaults his abdomen over the female mouth. In 2 of the 3 cases, the female completely consumed, while the mating surface on. Men who are not eaten die of injuries shortly after mating. The victims during mating is believed to confer two advantages for men. Male bites the exoskeleton and deliver sperm into the organs, without the somersault seen in men with adult females bred. A female spider can lay eggs every 25-30 days. A single female usually is 40-300 eggs in each bag, but can lay up to 5000 eggs. Redback spiders young mothers to leave the train, which carried by the wind. The spider builds its belly in the air and produces a droplet size of silk. Liquid Silk is a fine line drawn in the time when enough time to put away the spider.

Redback spiders are now found in all but the harshest conditions in Australia and its cities. The Redback spider is usually found near human habitations. Paths are built into the rule dry, protected, such as between rocks, logs, brush, old tires, sheds, porches, children's toys or smaller garbage or trash.

Six Eyes Sand Spider

 

The Life of Animals | Six Eyes Sand Spider | The six eye sand spider (Sicarius hahni) is a medium-sized spider with a body measuring 8-15 mm and leg spans up to 50 mm, found in deserts and other sandy places in southern Africa. Bites by Sicarius on humans are rare, there are no confirmed cases and two suspected cases in which the author was never identified. The genus name is Latin for Sicarius "murderer," Sica, a curved dagger. Toxicological studies have shown that the venom is particularly potent, with a hemolytic effect / necrotoxic potent, it must leak of the blood vessel, the dilution of blood and tissue destruction Sicarius bite treatment can be directed, as with all the bites cytotoxic prevention of secondary infections and anti disseminated intravascular coagulation, develops.

Spitting spider

 

  

The Life of Animals | Spitting spider | About 150 species have been described scytodids world. Scytodidae capture prey spitting, a liquid that solidifies when exposed to a toxic, sticky mass. Surprisingly, even if it is produced in the venom glands in chelicerae, which contains both fluid and spider silk poisonous in liquid form.

The spider meets usually at a distance of 10-20mm and the entire sequence of attack is more in less than 1/700th of a second after the acquisition, the bite spider usually the prey with toxic effects, and wrap in the normal way with spider silk from the spinnerets.

As the Sicariidae and Diguetidae These spiders are haplogyne (lack of female genital hardened) and have six eyes, as the three pairs are arranged. The Scytodidae differ from Sicariidae and Diguetidae in a dome-shaped tanks, and their distinctive mottled pattern of spots.

Trapdoor Spider

The Life of Animals | Trapdoor Spider | The trap door is hard to see if it is closed because the plant material and soil to effectively camouflage. The prey is captured when insects, other arthropods, small vertebrates, or the lines of 'travel' disturb the spider stretches around his door, alerting the spider with a meal at your fingertips. Male trapdoor spiders can overcome the aggressive reactions of the female to approach them, but do not know how. The enemies of Minierspinne pompilids include some wasps (spider), looking for holes, and manage to gain access. When the eggs hatch, the larva eats the spider alive. Unlike other spiders mygalomorph that Ctenizidae a rastellum on chelicerae.

There are about 120 described species of trapdoor spiders. Finding the spider wasps of the subfamily Ctenocerinae in the Neotropics, Africa and Australia are specialized hunters of trapdoor spider The taxonomy of trapdoor spiders is currently not well understood in the United States and many types of common Ummidia generally remain undescribed.

The spiders of this kind are in a mask with flat-opisthosoma to act to exclude as a second opening on predators such as wasps, spiders seem unusually hardened. There are a limited part of the cave of spiders, where the abdominal shield is just. Cyclocosmia Torreya burrows in moss banks along the Apalachicola River in Florida. Other species of trapdoor spiders are found in other parts of the world.

Spider crab

  

The Life of Animals | Spider crab | Rationalization for the spider crab name is usually subjective and anecdotal. Some spiders have a body called the flattened and angular. In all cases, the Thomisidae family are more commonly referred to as "spider". However, some members of the giant crab spiders called Sparassidae, Selenopidae hot wall crab spiders and various members Sicariidae are sometimes also called six-eyed crab spiders, some species of spiders, as well as independent Radspinne cancriformis Gasteracantha commonly known as "spiders".

Note, however, that these members of the family Thomisidae be confused with spiders, which are commonly known as bird droppings, spiders, not all of whom are close relatives of spiders. Other species of spider crabs, flattened, and hunting with the organisms in the columns of tree trunks or under loose bark or protection in these columns per day, and come at night to hunt. The spider was built in Aphantochilidae family Thomisidae in the late 1980. Species Aphantochilus cephalotes mimic ants on which they hunt.

The spiders of Thomisidae are not known to be harmful to humans. However, the spiders of an independent genus, Sicarius, sometimes referred to as "spiders" or "six-eyed crab spider", close cousins with recluse spiders, and are very toxic, although human bites are rare.

Yellow Garden Spider

 

  

The Life of Animals | Yellow Garden Spider | Garden spiders build networks, often in areas adjacent to the sunny fields where they are hidden and open protected from the wind. Argiope aurantia female spiders tend to be somewhat local, often in a place to stay in the great part of his life. The web of yellow garden spider is different: a circular shape to 2 feet (60 cm) in diameter with a zigzag-dense tissue, known as stabilimentum in the middle. Only the spiders that are active in the building during the day, their paths in Stabilimenta. The radial lines meet at a central point. To ensure that the web is dense, spider bends slightly along the radial lines of the application of spiral silk. Web of the female is much larger than the males, which is building a small web zigzag around.

 

The spider web can swing his strong, while it remains stuck in the middle. In a ritual, every night, the spider consumes the inner ring of the web and then re-created new every morning with fresh silk. The radial structure and mooring lines are usually not replaced when it reconstructs the spider web. The spider can be used to recycle the chemicals in the construction of the Web. In addition, consuming the thin wires that seem to have them small particles, the tiny insects and organic matter to feed the spider does not live in dense clusters capable than other ball spiders that can contain, may be the golden orb spider's web. The garden spider's web has a clean up properly when compared to the number of disordered networks, and given up by groups of Golden Orb spiders. Yellow garden spiders produce once a year. Males wander in search of a female, the construction of a small web near or even in the female web, then cut the female of booting your wireless web. Often, when the male approaches the female, he has prepared a trap line safety, if it attacks.

It lays its eggs at night on a piece of silk cloth, then cover it with a layer of silk, then a protective brown silk. Egg bags ranging from 5/8 "to 1" diameter. Every spider produces 1-4 bags of perhaps a thousand in each egg. The spiders spend most of their time in their cars waiting for prey in the trap. When prey is on the Web, can swing the spider web caught and returned, still keeping the insects. If the prey is secure, the spider kills her, and then inject its poison the prey wrapped in a cocoon of silk for later consumption (usually 1-4 hours later).  

 

Titan Beetle

The Life of Animals | Titan Beetle | Adults can be up to 6.5 inches (16.7 cm) long. Of all known bugs, is the Hercules beetle Dynastes hercules, can sometimes grow into those huge males to 7 inches (more than 17.5 cm) longer than the Titan, but the Hercules beetle males have a huge horn on the pronotum and thorax make up about half its total length. As such, the body of the beetle titanium is substantially greater than that of the Hercules beetle. In it, an adult specimen of American entomologist, the late Frank Hovore found and returned to Oxford University. A famous "life-size" photo of a supposed larva of the beetle, which appeared in the magazine National Geographic, a whole page to fill, but it was cervicornis from another kind of bug, possibly Macrodontia. The adults defend themselves by hissing in warning, and have sharp spines and strong jaws.

Golden ringed Dragonfly

  
The Life of Animals | Golden ringed Dragonfly | The Golden-ringed Dragonfly (Cordulegaster boltonii) is a large, striking and the longest British dragonfly species, the only one of its genus to be found in Britain They are easily Identified by Their distinctive black and yellow stripes, the which no other dragonfly in Britain has. The female lays the eggs in shallow water. This strikingly-colored insect is incredibly aerobatic and Sometimes They fly very high up into the sky.

 

Hornet

 

The Life of Animals | Hornet | If a hornet is killed near a nest the which it may release pheromones can cause the other Hornets to attack.  Generally Yellowjackets are smaller than the Hornets and are bright yellow and black, whereas Often the Hornets may be black and white wasp and bee-see characteristics. Another major difference is the Hornets and Yellowjackets Between each of Their food choices and aggression towards Humans. In autumn, Yellowjackets may be attracted to human foods and food wastes, Increasing Between Potentially aggressive contact Yellowjackets and Humans

Stings Hornets have used to kill prey and defend nests. Hornet Stings are more painful to Humans than typical hornet wasp venom contains Stings Because a large amount (5%) of acetylcholine.See Schmidt Sting Pain Index. Individual Hornets can sting multiple times; unlike typical bees, Hornets and Wasps do not die after stinging Because Their Stingers are not barbed and are not pulled out of Their bodies. The toxicity of hornet Stings According to hornet species varies; some deliver just a typical insect sting, while others are known Among the most Venomous insects hornet Single Stings in Themselves are not fatal, except Sometimes to allergic Victims.  The Stings of the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia japonica) are the most Venomous known. People who are allergic to wasp venom are also allergic to hornet Stings.

Some other large Wasps are Sometimes Referred to as the Hornets, most bald-faced Notably the hornet (Dolichovespula maculataand) found in North America. The name "hornet" is used for this and related species, primarily Because of Their habit of making aerial nests (similar to the true Hornets) rather than subterranean nests.

Carpenter bee

  

The Life of Animals | Carpenter bee | In Several species, Females live alongside the daughters or sisters Their Own, creating a sort of social group. They use wood bits to form partitions Between the cells in the nest. A few species bore holes in wood Dwellings.  In the United States, there are two eastern species, Xylocopa virginica, and Xylocopa micans, and three other species are primarily western in That distribution, varipuncta Xylocopa, Xylocopa Xylocopa californica and tabaniformis orpifex.

Males of some species have a white or yellow face, where the Females do not; males also have much larger eyes Often than the Females, the which relates to Their mating behavior. Male bees are Often seen hovering near nests, and will approach nearby animals.  Female carpenter bees are capable of stinging, but They are docile and rarely sting unless caught in the hand or otherwise directly Provoked. The exact nature of the relationship is not fully Understood, though in other bees That carry mites, the mites are beneficial, feeding either on fungi in the nest, or on other, harmful mites Carpenter bees are solitary bees Traditionally Considered, though some species have simple social nests in the which mothers and daughters may cohabit.

Carpenter bees the make nests by tunneling into wood, vibrating Their bodies as They rasp Their mandibles against the wood, each nest having a single entrance the which may have many adjacent tunnels. Carpenter bees do not eat wood. The provision Masses of some species are Among the most complex in shape of any group of bees; whereas most bees fill Their Brood cells with a soupy mass, and others form simple spheroidal pollen Masses, Xylocopa form elongate and carefully sculpted Masses That Several projections have the which keep the bulk of the mass from coming into contact with the cell walls, resembling an irregular caltrop Sometimes.

Species in the which the males have large eyes are characterized by a mating system where the males either search for Females by patrolling, or by hovering and waiting for passing Females, whom Pursue They then. The pheromone advertises the presence of the male to Females.

Wasp

 

  

The Life of Animals | Wasp | Male Yellowjacket Wasps, for example, have 13 divisions per antenna, while Females have 12.  The Difference Between Wasps sterile female workers and queens also varies Generally Between species, but the queen is noticeably larger than both males and other Females. Unlike bees, Wasps Generally lack plumose hairs. The type of nest produced by Wasps can depend on the species and location. Many social Wasps That Produce nests are constructed predominantly from paper pulp.

The Various species of Wasps fall into one of two main categories: social and solitary Wasps Wasps. Adult solitary Wasps live and operate alone, and most do not construct nests (below); all adult solitary Wasps are fertile. By contrast, social Wasps exist in Colonies numbering up to Several thousand individuals and build nests in some cases but not all of the colony can reproduce. In some species, just the wasp queen and male Wasps can mate, whilst the majority of the colony is made up of sterile female workers. Like all insects, Wasps have a hard exoskeleton covering Their three main body parts.

Social Wasps also use other types of nesting material mixed in with That Become the nest and it is common to find nests located near to the plastic pool or trampoline covers Incorporating distinct bands of color That Reflect the inclusion of these materials have simply been That chewed up and mixed with wood fibers to give a unique look to the nest. Again each species of social wasp Appears to Favour its own specific range of nesting sites. By contrast solitary Wasps are parasitic or predatory and Generally only the latter build nests at all. Unlike honey bees, Wasps have no wax producing glands. Wood fibers are gathered locally from Weathered wood, softened by chewing and mixing with saliva.

Not all social castes That Wasps have are physically different in size and structure.  All female Wasps are Potentially capable of Becoming a colony's queen and this process is determined by the which Often female successfully lays eggs first and begins construction of the nest. Evidence Suggests That Females Compete amongst each other by eating the eggs of other rival Females.  Polistine nests are considerably smaller than many other social wasp nests, housing only around 250 Typically Wasps, compared to the Several thousand common with Yellowjackets, and have the smallest stenogastrines Colonies of all, rarely with more than a dozen Wasps in a mature colony.

Bumble bee

The Life of Animals | Bumble bees | Bumble bees are found in higher latitudes Typically and / or high altitudes, though exceptions exist (there are a few Lowland tropical species) A few species (Bombus polaris and B. alpinus) range into very cold climates where other bees Might not be found B . Bumble bees Their body temperature can regulate, via solar radiation, internal Mechanisms of "shivering" and radiative cooling from the abdomen (called heterothermy). Other bees have similar physiology, but the Mechanisms have been best studied in Bumble bees.

The eggs hatch develop into female That workers, and in time the queen populates the colony, with workers feeding the young and performing other duties similar to honey bee workers.  According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the term Bumble bee was first recorded as having been used in the English language in the 1530 work by John Palsgrave Lesclarcissement, "I bomme, as a bombyll bee dothe."  The latter term was used in A Midsummer Night's Dream (circa 1600) by William Shakespeare, "The honie-bags steale from the humble Bees."

"Said the Bumble Bee." In the post-World War II era, however, be humble-bee fell into near-total disuse. The orchestral interlude "Flight of the Bumblebee" was composed (circa 1900) by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to Represent the turning of Prince Guidon to visit his father, Tsar Saltan, in the opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, although the music is Considered to Reflect more accurately the flight of a Bluebottle than a bumblebee.The music inspired Walt Disney to feature a Bumble bee in his 1940 animated musical Fantasia and have it sound as if it were flying in all parts of the theater.  The archaic English colloquialism dumbledor (also used for cockchafers) is the source of the name Albus Dumbledore, a fictional character from the Harry Potter series (1997-2007).  

Jumping spiders

 

  

The Life of Animals | Jumping spiders | Jumping spiders live in a variety of habitats. Euophrys omnisuperstes is a species reported to have been collected at the highest elevation, on the slopes of Mount Everest Jumping spiders have very good vision centered in their anterior median eyes (AME).  Some species (for example, Cosmophasis umbratica) are highly dimorphic in the UV spectrum, suggesting a role in sexual signaling (Lim & Li, 2005). Color discrimination has been demonstrated in Behavioral Experiments.

The principal, anterior median, eyes have high resolution (11 min. Visual angle), but the field of vision is narrow, from 2 to 5 degrees. However, the retina at the back of the tube-shaped anterior median eye to inspect objects can move off the direct axis of vision. Jumping spiders are Generally diurnal, active hunters. This enables the spiders to jump without having large muscular legs like a Grasshopper. Most jumping spiders can jump several times the length of Their body. Like many other spiders That Practically continuous leave a silk trail, jumping spiders impregnate the silk line with pheromones play a role in That social and reproductive communication, and possibly in navigation.

Certain species of jumping spiders ave been shown by experiment to be capable of learning, recognizing and remembering colors, and of adapting accordingly behviour Their hunting. Their umping spiders use vision in complex visual courtship displays. Often males are quite different in appearance from Females, and may have plumose hairs, colored or Iridescent hairs, front leg fringes, structures on other legs, and other, Often bizarre, modifications.

The male will then his front legs extend towards the female to touch her. Remains if the receptive female, the male will climb on the female's back and inseminate her with his palps. A 2008 study of the species in Current Biology Phintella vittatain female spiders Suggests That React to the male reflecting ultraviolet B light before mating, a finding That challenges the assumption held Previously That animals did not register ultraviolet B light. In recent years it has been Discovered That many jumping spiders may have auditory signals as well, with amplified sounds produced by the males sounding like buzzes or drum rolls
