!!!!!!!SPIDER HOTLINE!!!!!!! AUSTRALIAN REPTILE PARK INFORMATION SHEET Spider Drop-off points WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SPIDERS There are five spiders that regularly cause concern to members of the public in this area. Of these only the funnel-webs and red-backs are currently considered dangerous though there are others, such as mouse spiders, which are rarely encountered but potentially dangerous. Any spider larger in size than a dollar coin should be treated with respect, as all spiders have venom glands, though only the large species have fangs able to puncture human skin. The following safety rules apply to all spiders: Do not leave clothes, shoes, towels, etc., on the floor Check shoes before putting them on Do not walk about at night without footwear Do not handle spiders that appear to have drowned in pools, buckets, etc. Wear gloves when gardening or working outside First Aid Keep the bite victim calm and immobile.

Pest Control Pests Products Items ... www.kill-fireants.com SPIDERS GENERAL BIOLOGY SPIDER ELIMINATION BLACK WIDOW SPIDER BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER SPIDERS (Order Araneae GENE RAL INFORMATION AND BIOLOGY Few creatures are as feared and misunderstood as spiders. For the most part, spiders are harmless and generally beneficial by keeping the insect populations in check. Spiders are seldom aggressive and bite only when threatened or injured. Few spiders bite people and the venom of most is harmless. However, the bite of the black widow and the brown recluse (also known as the Recluse or Fiddle Back) can be quite dangerous. Beneficial or not, if spiders become a pest you need to go to our SPIDER ELIMINATION section, where you will find pesticide (such as Suspend SC ) and non-chemical control methods. Most infestations require both methods. And remember, the better you understand any pest, the easier it will be to eliminate or control. Spiders are the largest group of arachnids. There are more than 35,000 named species worldwide, including about 3,000 in North America, but probably most spider species are still awaiting identification. When someone brings a spider to us for identification, it is usually large (which makes one believe it might be a Tarantula) or is marked with brilliant colors (which many believe might be a black widow), but most spiders that we are asked to identify are harmless. These predators live almost everywhere - on the ground, under rocks, inside and underneath playground equipment, among grasses, on plants, in tree branches, in underground caves and even on the water. Spiders frequently stray into dwellings or other indoor habitats, or may be accidentally introduced on firewood, laundry that has been hung out to dry, and on flowers. Spiders will also sneak into our homes in boxes, clothing or furniture. In windows and near outdoor lighting, web-building spiders often construct webs because insect prey may be attracted at night by the lights and by air currents.

SPIDERS SPIDER SILK Only spiders have such complex silk spinning equipment, although many other arthropods can spin silk. W hat is spider silk made of? It is a fibrous protein secreted as a fluid which hardens as it oozes out of the spinnerets, which are mobile finger-like projections. As the fluid oozes out, the protein molecules are aligned in such a way that they form a solid, the process is not yet well understood. The spider hauls out the silk with its legs, stretching, fluffing it up or changing it in other ways to suit the purpose at hand. Weight for weight, spider silk is up to 5 times stronger than steel of the same diameter. It is believed that the harder the spider pulls on the silk as it is produced, the stronger the silk gets. Spider silk is so elastic that it doesn't break even if stretched 2-4 times its length. Spider silk is also waterproof, and doesn't break at temperatures as low as -40C. There are 7 types of silk glands and "nozzles" but no spider has all 7 types.

search site map library links ... heritage area Australia leads the world in its number of resident venomous spiders as well as the strength of their toxicity. However, of almost 9,800 species (about 2,500 species have been named)of spiders in 70 families throughout the country, most are perfectly harmless and interesting. As with other animal types, spider diversity in the Wet Tropics is broad and many fascinating species occur here that range from the ominously large to the tiny and hardly noticed, and from the dullest browns or black to the vibrantly hued or deceptively shaped. Spiders are classified according the strategies they use for feeding. Spiders which appeared earlier in the evolutionary scale feed by waiting in a burrow for food to come along before grabbing it. Following them are spiders which actively wander looking for food and which catch it by ambush or chasing it down. The evolution of flying insects created a need for spiders to evolve new ways of catching food which couldn't be chased and so the earliest web weavers arose. A few facts about spiders: Most spiders feed on insects and other arthropods but when it comes to the Bird-eating Spider (see the Primitive spiders page ), there is some speculation about larger prey being consumed such as warm blooded animals and frogs.

DANCING SPIDERS HOME ASYLUM SEEKERS IN AUSTRALIA LOCATION/SUBURB SPECIFIC INFORMATION General Information ... What's new General information Whose project is this This initiative is being funded by an individual concerned at the lack of true debate about asylum seekers in Australia. This appears symptomatic of how most policies are argued in Australia, where polarized views are presented by opposing sides, with little discussion of alternative ideas. From a legal sense this project exists on the internet domain name Dancing Spiders and the name is registered in Queensland as a business name BN17954733. Should a philanthropist come to assist, it would be converted to an association or company depending on what is more appropriate based on advice from others. For now it is only one person who is willing to sit down with anyone and explore ways of working with the community in general regardless of opinion or political alliances. What is Dancing Spiders The simplest answer is that it is basically a set of ideas of how to engage the general public from being spectators in life to one of being a participator in life, using the aim: To make it possible for people and community groups, no matter where they are, to discover and connect with one another, build relationships, and share ideas and experiences.

Vladimir I. OVTSHARENKO Ph.D. American Museum of Natural History (New York) Kefyn M. CATLEY Ph.D. Rutgens University (New Jersey) American Museum of Natural History (New Yor k) Andrei V. TANASEVITCH Ph.D. All-Russian Research Institute for Nature Protection (Moscow) " Biodiversity of spiders of Black Rock Forest " PROJECT DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION This project combines a research and educational approach to biodiversity studies looking in particular at the biodiversity of Black Rock Forest spiders. The project has two major parts, research and education. The first part of the project comprises a research study of the biodiversity of BRF spiders. Before our research the spider fauna of BRF was virtually unknown. Spiders are predators without a food specializations therefore they are excellent models for biodiversity research. Spiders occur in almost all ecosystems from deserts to mountain tops. In particular, forests have a more diverse spider fauna than most other ecosystems. Different species of spiders have very strong vertical preferences in a forest. Consequently, spiders occur at all levels from the soil, such as Atypidae, Lycosidae, Gnaphosidae (burrow dwelling or holes in the soil) to the canopy. At a State level the spiders of New York are very poorly known. The last list of New York State spiders was completed by Crosby and Bishop in 1928 and included 174 genera and 576 species. Kaston (1981) in his book "Spiders of Connecticut" recorded 184 genera and 462 species of spiders from Connecticut State, and 224 genera and 597 species with adjunct territories of Connecticut State (including the territory of New York east towards Hudson river). This example shows that the spider fauna of a much smaller state, Connecticut, is currently represented by more species than there are in the whole of New York State. Obviously, this poor state of knowledge needs to be addressed. As a result of our arachnological research in BRF, the first spider survey for the last 70 years, we found 290 species of spiders in BRF during the two years of the progect.

Except for some types of indigenous spiders such as the Redback or Funnel-web, most spiders are relatively harmless. All spider bites, however, should receive prompt medical attention as blood poisoning or infection can result. Spider treatments are carried out by treating cracks and crevices around the home where spiders and their prey inhabit. Routinely, for maximum effect, all areas of the home including the roof void, subfloor area, interior, exterior, fences and garage are treated. Special attention is paid to known harbourage points. Spiders usually, are dormant during the day - hiding in dark crevices mostly to emerge at night to feed on other insects caught in their webs. sales@pestec.com.au P.O. Box 3318 Narellan 2567

ARANEAE Close to thirty-five thousand named spider species exist in the order of Araneae, and even more not yet classified. Body structure contributes to the habits of these predators. The cephalothorax includes the head, eyes, and mouth parts along with four pairs of seven segmented legs attached to the sternum. For protection, a carapace (or hard outer shell) covers the upper cephalothorax. Usually araneae maintain eight eyes and a pair of jaws (cheliceral). Venom travels through the glands inside the head, into the fangs (extending from the jaw), and prepares to paralyze or kill the prey. In order to crush the victim, the pedipalps and cheliceral rub against each other. Homes of spiders range from webs, burrows, and nature structures to no home whatsoever. Silk's uses vary from ballooning and making egg sacks, to providing some sort of living condition, and more importantly, catching prey. Spiders are found in the most trying living conditions because they are experts utilizing their surroundings in order to survive. They have also used their environment to help catch or attract prey, and have come up with defense mechanisms to ward off enemies.
