Let's Talk About Spiders And Bugs! OVERVIEW: Students will be learning about spiders and insects. Primarily we will focus on their differences and how spiders are not really considered true insects. This lesson is designed for a second grade class. The TEKS it will focus on are: 2b) Plan and conduct simple descriptive investigations. d) Explanations based on information e) Communicate findings 6b) Observe and describe parts of plants and animals. The students will accomplish this lesson by observing two different types of spiders, a grasshopper and a June beetle. It will be necessary for one to collect any two types of spiders that are large enough for the children to see their bods parts, and to collect the grasshopper and June beetle. It is important to keep them in four separate jars. Observing will be the key to most of the students activities. Grouping the children at tables for this lesson will add to the ease of rotating the specimens. Instead of rotating the jars between tables, you can chose to rotate the students to prevent any damage to the specimens. OBJECTIVE: First, to introduce students to the concept of arachnids, that is spiders most commonly, and true insects. Once these concepts have been introduced, then to have the children be able to differentiate between the two.

All spiders should be treated with caution. Most species, with the exception of the funnel web, are not aggressive. A vast majority are harmless and play an important role as insect predators. Web-weaving spiders These spiders construct a sticky web to entangle and trap insects. Redback Spider Black House Spider Orb-Weaving Spider Redback Spider Latrodectus hasselti Female redbacks are spherical, black spiders about 12mm in body length. They have long thin legs and a distinctive red stripe on the back of the abdomen. The male redback is small and harmless, approx. 3-4mm in length and brown in colour. They often build untidy webs in stacked junk and rubbish in yards or under window sills and crevices in brickwork. Redbacks are not aggressive but are capable of delivering a very serious bite that can be fatal for young children; however, an anti-venom is available. Black House Spider Badumna and Ixeuticus species The female measures about 12-18mm in body length, the male being 8-10mm long. They are commonly black in colour with grey or cream speckling on their abdomens. They build dense, furry, tunnel shaped webs around eaves, windows, doors and walls. If provoked these spiders can inflict a painful bite.

77. Spider Myths--DaddyLongLegs was the cellar spiders but arachnologists have also given them the moniker of daddylonglegsspiders because of the confusion generated by the general public http://spiders.ucr.edu/daddylonglegs.html

Daddy-longlegs Myth Have you heard this one?: DADDY-LONGLEGS ARE ONE OF THE MOST POISONOUS SPIDERS BUT THEIR FANGS ARE TOO SHORT TO BITE HUMANS This tale has been lurking around for years. I have heard it repeatedly in the United States and even heard a schoolteacher misinforming her class at a museum in Brisbane, Australia. This is incorrect, but to clarify it, several points need to be explained first. The animals Most folks who retell this tale have no idea that they are referring to two completely separate groups of animals: "daddy-longlegs" and "daddy-longlegs spiders". In the animal class Arachnida, there are several lower level divisions called Orders. Scorpions are in the Order Scorpiones, spiders are in the Order Araneae, ticks and mites are in the Order Acari. The creatures most correctly called daddy-longlegs are in their own separate Order which is Opiliones. Common names for this Order are 1) daddy-longlegs, 2) harvestmen and 3) opilionids. They are characterized by having one basic body segment which shows segmentation on the posterior portion, at most 2 eyes and all 8 legs attach to the pill-like body segment. They are usually found under logs and rocks, prefer moist habitat although they can be found in the desert, often have long flexible legs (in the temperate Northern hemisphere but there are also short-legged daddy-longlegs) and they do not produce silk so therefore they are never found in webs unless they are being eaten by spiders. Because they are found under logs and other stuff which people most often are not turning over, most folks don't run into daddy-longlegs very often.

Eric T. Schreiber Medical Entomologist and Research Leader Biological and Alternative Control Section John A. Mulrennan, Sr. Public Health Entomology Research and Education Center G.B. Edwards Florida State Collection of Arthropods FDACS, Division of Plant Industry 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 (

appears in the proceedings of the 1997 Invertebrates in Captivity Conference OUTREACH USING LOCAL INSECTS AND SPIDERS Ronald W. Lyons Curator of Entomology, Chula Vista Nature Center, 1000 Gunpowder Point Drive, Chula Vista, CA 91910 INTRODUCTION The Chula Vista Nature Center, located on the upland portion of the Sweetwater Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, a salt water marsh on San Diego Bay approximately 11 km south of downtown San Diego, celebrated its 10th anniversary this past July 4th. The Center, fully accredited by the American Association of Museums, provides opportunities to learn about the natural history and ecology of CaliforniaÕs salt water estuaries. Since 1990, the Center has run a series of regularly scheduled "Bug Walks" as part of its environmental education program. Bug Walks are participatory, hands-on, explorations of local natural areas emphasizing local arthropods, mainly insects and spiders. Depending on the commitments of the participants and the availability of species, walks last from 2 to 3 hours (includes introductory presentation). The exploratory nature of the walks limits the total distance covered to between 400 and 800 m, so they are not strenuous outings. Participants have a wide variety of backgrounds, including PhDs in entomology. At first, the walks were carried out around the Nature Center and on some adjacent abandoned land. As other Center programs expanded into San Diego county, the Bug Walks also expanded and now cover about 5 natural areas between Imperial Beach and Encinitas (a distance of about 56 km).

General Tarantula Info Tarantula Defense Mechanisms A Note on Handling Tarantulas Basic Care: What They Should Live In Basic Care: What They Should Drink From ... Back to the Main Page Range, Habitats, and Physical Attributes: Tarantulas are the largest spiders in the world and are found in almost all mild and tropical climates, from the south-western United States down to Chile in the Western Hemisphere and China down to Australia in the Eastern Hemisphere. They're generally hairy, come in an incredible variety of colors and sizes, and have enormous black fangs. To grow, they molt out of their exoskeletons, a process that may take exhaustive hours of struggle (more on molting is here . Some arboreal tarantulas (such as members of the genera Avicularia and Poecilotheria ) prefer to live in trees and on the sides of buildings. Others, such as the King Baboons ( Citharischius crawshayi), spend their time in self-constructed burrows. There are tarantulas that can cross streams, some that live in deserts, and others that make a hissing sound by "stridulating" or rubbing their legs. Beyond their obvious similarities of eight legs, fangs, and fuzziness, different species and even different individuals of the same species are, well, different- just like people, cats, and dogs. Defense Mechanisms: All spiders possess venom, but few tarantulas have venom of significant consequence to humans. The general reaction to their bites is some physical damage from the fangs piercing the skin (which is no big deal from a small spider, but a bite from a
