I know that chick!
Scientists returned to the Amazon rainforest in December to collect data on one of their biggest finds of 2012: a spider that uses insect corpses and jungle trash to build big, spider-shaped decoys in its web.
But these Peruvian spiders, presumed to be a new species of Cyclosa, are not the sole sculptors of false arachnids. A second decoy spider lives in the Philippines, on the island of Negros. Finding two spiders that make such similar designs, 11,000 miles apart, has left scientists wondering how the behavior evolved and if the decoys serve as lures for prey or as an anti-predator defense system. The discoveries also suggest there may be even more sculpting arachnids.
You just have to know what to look for.
“The Philippine species and the Peruvian species, they both makes these decoys, but the architecture is different,” said entomologist Lary Reeves, a graduate student at the University of Florida who found the Philippine spider in March 2012. That spider decoy’s legs radiate outward from the body in all directions, while the Peruvian decoy’s legs tend to point downward.
Reeves was studying deforestation and butterfly communities on Mount Kanlaon, near the town of Murcia, when he noticed something odd along the trail leading down the mountain from his field site.
“I walked by this web with a spider in the middle,” Reeves said. “A couple steps past it, I realized it was a spider I hadn’t seen in the area before. I backtracked, looked, and saw that it was a decoy.”
The decoy was about the size of a half-dollar, constructed from debris and food carcasses, with eight legs radiating from its bulky center. It took Reeves awhile to find the spider that sculpted the false arachnid, but he eventually spotted it hiding in a pocket built into the decoy’s abdomen. It was just millimeters across, and well camouflaged by its building materials.
At the time, there was no way Reeves could know entomologist Phil Torres would soon find a similar spider in Peru, and that its artistic representations would crawl all over the internet.
In December, Reeves went to Peru with Torres to try to learn more about these spider-building spiders. The spiders live in an isolated patch of protected jungle along the Rio Tambopata, in the floodplain that surrounds the Tambopata Research Center.
There, Reeves and Torres and their colleagues spotted about a half-dozen of the spider-building spiders. The team photographed and measured the decoys daily, paying close attention to how the spiders rebuilt their decoys after seasonal rains turned them into soggy piles of web trash.
Well they already got a piece of me and besides the feverish near death it wasn't all that bad.

That is an undeserved reputation for the recluse, Nefaro. They would much prefer to stay out of sight and away from people. Although, there are several houses that I have pulled out more than three hundred a month from in the summer time.
In eight years time, I have found no more than ten Recluse on the outside of someones house. Scores of Black Widows outside, but less than a handful inside. It's easy for me to be blasé about removing them from a customers house. If it were my own, I'd have a come apart. But crawling on people in their bed is not something they do very often.
we do. I've got lizards by the job lots running around outside.
My mother lives in Sarasota, FL and has at least 1 wild gecko living in the house. It hides behind furniture, typically up on the wall, and hisses if people get too curious.

So are you officially a Brummie or a Geordie then?I'm a..Geordie-Brummie. We've lived in Newcastle since 1976. Moved here about 18 months after we got married, so we've now lived here longer than we lived in B'Ham.
More than likely, she got it from pulling a shirt over her head from the closet. It's possible that she got it in bed, but, it's a fallacy that Recluse hang out in your bed and wait to bite you. The bed thing is usually caused by the bed being under a vent or light fixture and the little bastards drop down and land on the bed. You roll over on them and they commence to biting you.

My dogs attack spiders without hesitation.
My dachshund has on more than one occasion flicked his tongue around as if he were bitten. But showed no ill effects.
My old cat didn't care for them either.
I suspect my pack, upon seeing said abominable slippers, would descent with righteous fury upon them and leave little but stuffing in their wake.

Fire is natural.
A home with prime views of the third and fourth holes at Whitmoor Country Club has been vacant for two years because of a creepy crawly problem.
The home was infested with between 4,500 and 6,000 brown recluse spiders, according to one estimate.
The previous homeowners abandoned the 2,400-square-foot atrium ranch after years of pesticide treatments couldn’t curb the invasion.

How many spiders does it take to creep you out? 10? 100? How many spiders make an “extreme spider situation”?
The Baltimore Wastewater Treatment Plant put out a call for “extreme spider” help in 2009, when a giant spiderweb covered almost 4 acres of their facility. Scientists eventually estimated over 107 million spiders were living in the structure, with densities of 35,176 spiders per m³ in spots.
Greene, A et al. (2010). An Immense Concentration of Orb-Weaving Spiders With Communal Webbing in a Man-Made Structural Habitat (Arachnida: Araneae: Tetragnathidae, Araneidae). American Entomologist, 56 (3), 146-156.
The “immense” in their title doesn’t really begin to cover it. From the paper:Quote“We were unprepared for the sheer scale of the spider population and the extraordinary masses of both three dimensional and sheet-like webbing that blanketed much of the facility’s cavernous interior. Far greater in magnitude than any previously recorded aggregation of orb-weavers, the visual impact of the spectacle was was nothing less than astonishing.
In places where the plant workers had swept aside the webbing to access equipment, the silk lay piled on the floor in rope-like clumps as thick as a fire hose.”
Remember, that paragraph was written by 5 mid-career professional entomologists and arachnologists. If they were a bit startled by the size of the web….it was a big freakin’ web.

A mum was scared stiff after opening a bunch of supermarket bananas and finding rare South American spiders - whose bite can give a man a four hour erection.
Unfortunately, it then also kills him.
Shocked Maria Layton, 43, spotted the creepy crawlies after opening the bag of yellow fruit she bought from Tesco.
She found the bananas, shipped from Costa Rica, were infested with eggs from the Brazilian Wandering Spider - the most deadly in the world.
As soon as she discovered the cocoon they started to hatch so she quickly put them in a sealed container in the freezer and called Tesco customer services.
The species is deadly and its venom can kill a human in just two hours - but can also give male victims a painful four-hour erection.
Its venom is currently being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments.
Mother-of-two Maria went to open the bag for her eldest daughter Siri, six, but noticed there was something funny on the side of one of the bananas.

Black Widow Sex Research Is Just as Dangerous as It Sounds

That's especially true if the black widows are sexed-up cannibal females.
Andrade points to the pink sex toys in the experiment room. "We have vibrators, as ways of stimulating the web. This is actually a really good way of creating regular, predictable stimuli. It's hooked up to some electronics, that allow us to trigger it a particular time or particular duration, and we can measure the actual vibrations produced. We've had some pretty funny encounters with personal stimulatory devices."

but most can survive up to six months without eating. "Which is why they're invasive," says Andrade. "They can get stuck in a box and shipped somewhere, and even if it's months later, they can start reproducing immediately."
seriously? as thought anything good comes of this...

#5. There Are Tiny Spiders Living in Your Face Right Now
Those blue things are tiny arachnids known as "Demodex brevis," and they live in your pores right now. Yes, in your pores. Researchers discovered that precisely 100 percent of people examined were home to massive colonies of microscopic face spiders.
As you can imagine, some people react poorly to mites holding massive raves all up in their grills. It's now thought that a common skin condition called rosacea, which leads to rashes and inflammation, might be caused by an immune reaction to these scaled-down Lovecraftian monsters. But, hey, life isn't exactly rosy for our face friends, either: They don't live long, so nature never bothered to give them an ass. They stick around just long enough to gorge themselves, lay eggs, and die. So, that's sort of an upside: At least the millions of arachnids living in your face aren't using it as a port-a-John.
Oh wait, it says here that they just store all that poop up, and, when they die, it releases all at once, all over your face.

Merchant said while rare, it is not unheard of that such massive web-works may appear once in a while. For example, he said, in 2007 the media reported about a giant spider web found at Lake Tawakoni State Park, about 35 miles from Rowlett.
“At the time, the discovery of the web was more than creepy – it was a revelation to many arachnologists — spider experts,” he said. “That’s because spiders typically work alone to construct their webs. So finding spiders working together to build a huge web in what was more of a cooperative or ‘communal’ scenario was a real surprise for many experts.”

Flying connotes a mechanism for continued, voluntary, locomotion. Spiders have no such appendage/ability. Therefore, spiders ride the wind, but do not fly.

A man's noisy attempts to kill a spider caused his neighbors to call the police, reporting a suspected violent domestic incident.
Officers in Sydney went to the address after numerous calls were made claiming a woman could be heard screaming hysterically and a man yelling "I'm going to kill you, you're dead. Die! Die!"
Below is their transcript of the conversation that followed:
Police: We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?
Male: I don't know what you're talking about, I live alone.
Police: Come on mate, people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit.
Police: Come on mate, what have you done to her?
Male: It was a spider.
Police: Sorry??
Male: It was a spider, a really big one!!
Police: What about the woman screaming?
Male: Yeah sorry that was me, I really, really hate spiders.
What neighbours thought was a serious incidence of domestic violence was in fact the man chasing the arachnid around his home with a can of spider spray.
The police report concluded: "After a very long pause, some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left."

That looks like a job for a pest control technician.
A massive funnel web spider named 'big boy' has been found and turned in to a hospital.
The huge spider, which measured 7.5 centimetres across, was dropped off by a terrified local at the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, New South Wales.
The horrifying creature had venom dripping off its deadly fangs when bushwalker stumbled across it.

If I ever have a spider species named after me once I'm gone, I'm going to come back to life just to rectify that. And I'm going to be pissed. :knuppel2:
That's how long the penis of a newly discovered arachnid fossil has been standing at attention. The harvestman, a spider relative also known as a daddy longlegs, was encased in amber during the Cretaceous in what is now Myanmar. Its distinctive penis, with a heart-shaped tip and a bit of a twist at the end, was erect at the time.
The new harvestman specimen belongs to an ancient species called Halitherses grimaldii. A private collector sent it to Dunlop and his colleagues. Harvestman fossils are rare — only 38 have ever been found, the researchers wrote in their new paper — but harvestman genitals are even more elusive. This is the first amber specimen visibly preserving the structure of the penis, Dunlop told Live Science in an email.
"These penis details (shape, form of the tip, etc.) are very important for saying where this amber species fits in the harvestman family tree," he said. "In fact, we couldn't find an exact match in terms of penis shape with any living species."
As a result, the researchers propose that the spider belonged to a previously unknown (and now extinct) family of harvestmen. The team is investigating several other new species found in Burmese amber, but none of those are preserved with visible genitals, Dunlop said.
when i went with wife mark II we were sat in a coffee shop pretty close to the entrance in Cairns, all of a sudden the owner shouts 'aw, here he is fellas, heres bruce' i turn around, no one there, and the owner says 'come on in little guy', so i look down - coming through the door is a fking glove with eight legs, biggest ass, stripiest fkng spider ever - owner puts down a saucer of beer and hes straight in
apart from the obvious lynching i would have received for doing so, the temptation to stomp on it was massive, but ive always pondered the fact that the thing would have just turned round, caught my shoe and thrown me backwards through the window
