These spiders are really very small - only 2 or 3mm (maybe a 1/4 inch), but they can jump quite a distance. We have a lot of them here, but they are so small that they generally go unnoticed. They are harmless to people and very beautifully colored.

Biggest Spider
GOLIATH TARANTULA
Theraphosa blondi
Location: This big guy is found in the coastal rainforests of northeastern South America, in the jungle.
Facts: These spiders are a sub-species of tarantula, which are the largest spiders in the animal kingdom. The biggest goliath spider on record had a legspan that measured just over 11 inches across! That's big enough to cover a dinner plate.

Brown Recluse Spiders
If asked to name all the spiders they are familiar with, most Californians would have a short list: tarantula, black widow, and brown recluse. Tarantulas are well known because of their large, intimidating size and their use in many movies as eight-legged villains. Black Widows are very common throughout the state, are potentially dangerous, and are easily identifiable by their shiny black body color and red hourglass on the belly. The brown recluse, however, is an enigma: ...

Chiggers
I. Definition:
Chiggers are the larvae of harvest mites and belong to the family Trombiculidae. Chiggers feed on low vegetation, but they need animals as a source of protein. Chiggers do not burrow into the skin; instead they attach themselves to the opening of a hair shaft and inject saliva into the skin. When on a person, chiggers go to areas where the skin is thin and moist: the ankles, wrists, thighs, groin or waist. The mite stays in this area until feeding is complete. This ...

Are you afraid of spiders? There's a name for that fear—Arachnophobia. It's kind of a mystery why so many people fear spiders. Most spiders are harmless to people. The one pictured above is one of the few poisonous spiders in the United States, called a black widow. You can find these spiders in Wisconsin although they are shy and not often seen.
There are many, many different kinds of spiders. Think about all the different spiders you see. You find them in your ...

There are probably more than fifty thousand species of spiders on Earth. Some are a millimetre across the back while others are as big as an adult's hand.
Many spiders are helpful to people because they hunt and eat insects. However, some spiders are dangerous to people. The red-back spider is one of those dangerous spiders.

Brown Recluse
The brown recluse spider is not particularly aggressive. Most people who get bitten have contacted the spider in clothing or shoes not which haven't been used for a period of time. They typically can be found on the floor or behind furniture in areas which are left undisturbed. Fatalities are rare, but bites are most dangerous to children, elderly, and those in poor physical condition. ...

Spiders
Because they feed off other insects, including harmful ones, spiders are considered beneficial. But their webs are a nuisance, and spider bites can be painful or dangerous to humans.
Controlling spiders begins with reducing their food supply: proper sanitation and control of other insect species will eliminate most spider problems. Regular vacuuming and sweeping of infrequently used spaces such as storage areas, crawl ...

Species: Metaphidippus Canadensis - common jumping spider
Author: Amanda Warner
Physical Description: Metaphidippus Canadensis is the most common Wisconsin jumping spider. This jumping spider is very small, a mere ½ inch long—and that’s a big one. They are generally gray with black stripes. To tell jumping spiders from other spiders, first look for a square-shaped head attached to a hairy body. Next, look for really big eyes. All jumpers--all spiders, in fact--have eight ey ...

Spiders often are seen as ugly, threatening creatures. These eight legged, non-insect arthropods elicit fear and revulsion. Yet, they are a part of our every day world. They are viewed as beneficial when they capture insects but seen as pests when found inside the house.
Most buildings have a resident spider population feeding on household insects, stray flies, and each other. They live in neglected areas: attics, basements, behind and under furniture; bookcases ...

HOW DID SPIDERS GET THEIR NAME? Over 700 different kinds of spiders live in Florida. The scientific name for spiders is “Arachnid” (uh-rack-nid). That name comes from an old Greek story. In this story, a girl named Arachne (uh-rak-nee) loved to weave. Her weaving was so beautiful and perfect that the goddess Athena got jealous. To punish Arachne, the goddess turned her into a spider. But Arachne still loved to weave, even though she was a spider.

There are hundreds of different kinds of spiders and other arthropods that occur in Idaho. For the most part these animals are beneficial and are integral parts of the food chain. At times they become nuisances by finding their way into our homes. Some people just have a low tolerance level for any sort of "creepy –crawly". A few spiders, scorpions, etc are actually poisonous and care must be taken to avoid being bitten or stung. Examples of the most common ...

Spiders
(Arachnida: Araneae)
General Information:
Spiders are viewed uniquely by individuals--they either fear them or live with them. For many, the fear of spiders may be linked to childhood stories or learned from friends or relatives. Nevertheless, this fear is real and often well-founded in the case of several species. For others, spiders are a nuisance with their unsightly webs above lamps and in the corner of ceilings.

Spiders can be distinguished easily from insects. All spiders have two major body regions and four pair of legs; insects have three body regions and three pair of legs.

Spiders - are definitely one of the top pests that people fear. With thousands of species present in this country, only two are really dangerous to humans, the black widow and the brown recluse spiders. The spider has two body segments, the cephalothorax (head & thorax) and the abdomen. Spiders are beneficial for the control of insects but become a nuisance when they spin their webs on the outside of a structure or become an unwanted guest on the inside. Most spiders cannot penetrat ...

Golden Orb Spider
This saucer-sized
spider is found
beneath the forest
canopy near the
ground where the
air is still.
Notice the hairy
knees on this
spider, any
vibrations in
the air (either
from an insect
or hungry bird)
cause the hairs
to vibrate and
gives the spider
a chance to escape
or prepare for its
next meal.

forest dwellers

There are about 4,000 different species of orb-weaving spiders. Orb-weavers make suspended, sticky, wheel-shaped orb webs. These webs are found in the openings between trees and shrubs. Some orb-weavers even have special characteristics, such as silk that reflects UV light, in order to attract their prey.
The orb-weaving spider sits in the center of its web (as seen in the picture on the right) or on its perimeter. The spider then waits for the vibrations of a flying insect landing on the ...

"What's miraculous about a spider's web?" asked Mrs. Arable.

Spiders
Spiders are not insects, they belong to a group of animals called ARACHNIDS. They have 8 legs (insects have 6), and no wings.
All spiders can make silk thread and they use this for many different things. Some line their burrows with it, some make silken webs and some make it into cocoons for their eggs.
Female spiders lay anything from 1 to 2000 eggs. The spider wraps these eggs in a bag of silk to protect them until they hatch.
Some species of spider spin webs to catc ...
