Female spiders encase eggs in silk cocoon while males produce ____ that are deposited in sperm packets.
sperm webs
Draglines...
are used by spiders as safety lines or communication
Silk balloons make ____ possible because they are transported by wind.
cosmopolitan transport.
Reproduction occurs when a drop of semen from sperm web is picked and stored in...
pedipalps; Male inserts pedipalps into pore leading to female's seminal receptacles.
Black widow spiders have red spots or hour glass shaped patches on abdomens are aka...
Italics: Latrodectus spp. ;have powerful neurotoxic venom that affects breathing/nervous system!
Italics: Loxosceles reclusa has a stripe that is...
violin shaped and has hemolytic venom causing necrosis (destroys tissue) and even amputations.
