Spiders

The pair of scorpion appendages that appear to be adapted for grasping prey are their chela (claws). The claws have a movable finger and an immovable finger. The movable finger is what clamps down and grasps onto prey. The first pair of legs appear to be extremely long, yet thin, much smaller than the claws that they have. They appear to be the smallest appendages that the scorpion has. The function that they may serve is to help stabilize the scorpion as it is walking around. They might also…

She turns her head to the door. “Oh my G-nkahfvusbfkbidnkfov.” she tries to say but wasn’t able to for the attack of the creepy-crawlies and they were crawling over her. We were cheering loudly like we were at a football game. Soon, the spiders and worms cleared up so we could see the woman, looking more horrible than ever. “You came back!” we shouted. We see Arachni crawling up to us. He crawls up and unlocks the cage. “Get our parents too!” I say happily. Arachni and friends go to make…

Stepping into the dark gloomy hallway, I examined the situation. The walls had blood splattered on them. The floor now home to several young corpses. Luckily none moved when I poked them with my umbrella, giving me the signal it was clear. After I gave my friends a thumbs up, they hurried into the hallway. Lights flickered on and off quickly. "What's with the lights?" Samie pondered, trying to stay quiet. But before I could answer Samie, I heard a loud thud as if something or someone fell.…

Spider naevi is a benign vascular condition. It can look like telangiectasia but they have a central red spot, which the vessels grow outwards. Making them look like little spiders. It is a collection of tiny dilated blood vessels that are all gathered together very near the surface of the skin. It is more common in women, particularly pregnant women and children of school age. It can generally affect healthy people and isn’t life threatening but can be a sign of an underlying condition such as…

common day wolf spider. With this paper i’m trying to teach a wider audience of people about the wonderful life cycle wolf spiders and wolf spider facts. While someone might think that wolf spiders’ life cycle is similar but is much different. While most spiders keep their egg sack on there web but wolf spiders carry their egg sack on their back in fact they don’t even produce webs. The jumping spider, ground spider, sac spider, and lynx spiders are the only other spiders that don’t spin…

After hours of work, we finally got enough spider webs to combine together to make a giant ball to throw at the spiders. "Who wants to throw it?" I asked. "I do," Fritz replied. He took the web, and with one big mighty fearless throw, it hit the spiders perfectly as they rolled to the corner. With enough space to walk out of the room, we quickly ran to the door and went on to the challenge that…

environments were quite similar, some insects were present in greater quantities in one environment as a result of the varying factors favoring the survival of the insect populations. The arthropods were divided into the following ten morphospecies; Spiders, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Leipidoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Diptera, Phasmia, and Mantodea. Unidentifiable arthropods were classified into a separate category consisting of all unknown arthropod…

Spider veins or Telangiectasia as they are better medically known, are small permanently dilated capilliaries or venules and are often found in the face, legs and ankles. The presence of these veins can indicate a deeper circulatory problem but in most cases will be superficial and therefore harmless. (Werner, 2016) Spider veins are very similar to Varicose veins although much smaller and a lot closer to the skin. Veins carry deoxygenated blood through our body and back to our heart. In the…

All around the world, there are millions of different types of insects. Some of the insects are just here to irritate anyone and anything, while others have the ability to evolve into something even more terrifying. According to Weekly World News, there is a type of assassin bug that uses its prey’s carcasses as body armor. Looking at years of possible evolution, the idea of a bug using these masking techniques to avoid predators is not exactly an extraordinary claim. As far as I am concerned,…

Alene Smith swept the floor of the lobby, trying to look graceful She swept her arms in what she thought was a fluid motion, but it was hard The floor was almost clean, but then she spotted a clump of dirt by her foot, and tried to sweep it up She knew that sweeping up dirt probably wasn't the smartest idea, but she was watching the television and she didn't think much of it She didn't want to move, because even if she moved a little bit to the left she wouldn't be able to see the…
