    Extractions: June 9, 2003 Reichling has embarked on a novel, decades-long project: to map and quantify Belizean forest degradation with the assistance of 50 or more tarantulas surgically implanted with radio transponders. Printer Friendly Email to a Friend SHARE Digg StumbleUpon Reddit RELATED Like much of Central and South America, Belize's rain forests have been altered by successive human cultures beginning with the Maya. For most of human history this has involved sustainable methods of land use such as small-scale slash-and-burn farming. However, modern large-scale agriculture is destroying rainforest at an unprecedented rate. Reichling and his Memphis Zoo veterinarian colleague Chris Tabaka are collecting information about the success of tarantula populations in rainforest sites, and using it as a measure of the degree of damage to these habitats. The project, which began in March 2000, is expected to continue for at least 20 years, to follow what happens as the current tarantula residents die out and are replaced. Eight-Legged Monitor Tarantulas are particularly suitable bio-indicators to map environmental change, because they can live for 20 years and remain in one burrow for life, making them easy to relocate year after year, says Reichling.

    Extractions: Order: Araneae Description: Tarantulas are our heaviest spiders by weight and have a body length of about 1 ½ inches (40 mm). They are relatively common throughout Texas and their large size makes them quite recognizable. Typically, the head-thorax region (cephalothorax) and legs are dark brown, the abdomen brownish black. Color may vary between individuals and certainly changes after a molt. There are 14 species of tarantulas in the genus, Aphonopelma , listed from Texas in a recent work. Identification of species is difficult and requires mature males, a microscope, proper literature and experience. Life Cycle: Females lay 100 to 1,000 eggs in a web which is constructed like a hammock. The egg sac is retained in the burrow, guarded, and usually held by the female. Eggs hatch in 45 to 60 days. Spiderlings hatch in July or later in the year within the egg sac. Once they leave the egg sac, the spiderlings may stay with the females for 3 to 6 days or longer before dispersing. Many of the young fall prey to other spiders or predators as they disperse to begin their own burrows. Females have lived in captivity for over 25 years. Males in Texas rarely live over two or three months after maturity.

    Extractions: This bloke and his family were on holiday in the States and went to Mexico for a week. As he was an avid cactus fan he bought a rare and expensive cactus there, it was about a metre high and cost about $500 Aus. He got it home and the customs people were none too impressed so they said it must stay in quarantine for 3 months, cost - $800 or so. One evening after a beautiful warm spring day he was out watering his garden and thought he might give the cactus a light spray. This he did and was amazed to see the plant shiver all over, he gave it another light spray and it shivered and shook again. All its arms moved. He was puzzled so he rang the council who put him on to the state gardens.

SCI PRY By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor Enlarge picture 1. Those large hairy spiders are called tarantulas. Their name comes from the port of Taranto (southern Italy). The locals correlated the convulsions and uncontrolled jumps of the victim of a tarantula bite to the local dance of tarantella, and hence the name of these spiders. Biologically, they are included in the family of Theraphoside and comprise about 800 species, found on all continents, except Antarctica. 3. Despite being so large, tarantulas do not make the list of the deadly spiders as their venom is weak. They frighten rather because of their huge fangs, 1-2.5 cm (0.4-1 in) long. The tarantula bite has been compared to that of a wasp. Spiders with lethal venom belong rather to other families and are much smaller than tarantulas, like the black widow spider. The so-called funnel web tarantulas (Atrax) from Australia, possessing a venom deadly for the people, are not proper tarantulas (they do not belong to the Theraphosidae family). Meanwhile, small spiders, like the Black Widow spider (Latrodectus) has a venom 15 times more powerful than that of the rattlesnake.

    Extractions: Awhile back I mentioned that I thought that it odd that nobody eats tarantulas because of their close relationship to crabs and the likefavorite foods in many cuisines. Last night I was watching a show on a tribe of Amazonian Indians and lo and behold, they were trapping and cooking the big ol' spiders. And I do mean big. These guys were the size of blue crabs. I would guess that they're at least eight inches across the spread legs. At the campsite, the spiders are killed. Everything is used. The abdomens are removed and stripped of eggs. The eggs are wrapped in a leaf and roasted over a fire to produce a spider egg omelette. The bodies are tossed directly onto a fire to singe off the hair and to cook the meat. When they're done, the legs and thorax are cracked open and picked just like when you eat a crab. After the meal the fangswhich are a good inch and a half long are used as toothpicks. It was emphasized that the spiders taste *very* much like crab.

    Extractions: sans Tarantella skip to main skip to sidebar An inordinate fondness for systematics It's interesting how different people perceive levels of risk. Someone once asked how I could be completely unafraid of spiders, but be extremely nervous around cars (I am - a friend of mine once banned me from riding in the passenger seat when she was driving, because the sight of my knuckles turning white as I gripped onto the handlebar would make her nervous). I asked him in return how I could possibly be otherwise - hardly anyone is ever seriously hurt by a spider, but cars kill large numbers of people on a regular basis. The point of that little anecdote, in case you were wondering, is to introduce a family of spiders that have provided stock horror film fodder for years, but are widely known to be fairly harmless - the Theraphosidae. Theraphosidae are a family of large spiders found mostly in ex-Gondwanan landmasses - South America, Africa, India and Australia, as well as in south-east Asia. These are the spiders best known as bird-eating spiders or tarantulas, though the name "tarantula" originally applied to a member of a quite different family of spiders, the European wolf spider Lycosa tarantula . The photo at the top of the post (from here ) shows an Australian species of Selenocosmia . The photo just above this paragraph (from Tarantulas from Uruguay *) of Theraphosa leblondi gives a good idea of the size some theraphosids reach. Theraphosidae include the largest living spiders - indeed, since the Carboniferous

    Extractions: @import url("/stylesheets/spiders_adv.css"); Tarantulas are the movie stars of the spider world. They are cast in films when things hairy, scary and deadly are needed. But despite their appearance and reputation, bites from these spiders usually cause little harm. So how did they get such a bad reputation? In 1370, in a small town called Taranto in southern Italy a strange and mysterious epidemic broke out for which the only cure seemed to be wild dancing and music. Occurring every summer for three hundred years, this disease was thought to be caused by the bite of a large, hairy Wolf Spider ( Lycosa tarantula ), which became known as a Tarantula. In the 1600s, people discovered that these spiders were virtually harmless. Many then concluded that the whole phenomenon of Tarantism was simply an excuse far a wild party. However, it is now suspected that a spider was involved and the real culprit was a European relative of the Redback or Widow Spider. As Europeans colonised the world, they saw even bigger and hairier spiders, and called them Tarantulas too. As a result, many large and hairy spiders are now commonly, but incorrectly, called Tarantulas. The only true Tarantulas are the large spiders of the family Theraphosidae. Some examples of spiders from this family include:

    Extractions: May 29, 2008 A subprime miasma hung over the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center Tuesday night as the stars and superstars of the financial community gathered for the Robin Hood Foundation's annual gala. As founder Paul Tudor Jones conceded, "A lot of us aren't doing as well as we were last year." addthis_pub = 'nysun'; Whereas last year Wall Street 's royalty was treated to decor featuring gigantic castles and thrones, this year the visuals emphasized some of the causes favored by the foundation. Lighted signs saying "Survivor" and "Health is Hope" probably resonated in more ways than one for those whose businesses are on life support. RELATED Stars Come Out for Robin Hood Event Nonetheless, there was good work to be done, and Mr. Jones wasn't about to let a downturn in Wall Street profits stand in the way of the yearly Robin Hood fund-raising juggernaut. He called on the crowd — "4,000 of the greatest achievers on the face of the earth" — to remember that though they were "feeling a lot more pain than a year ago," there are New Yorkers who are suffering much worse difficulties every day of their lives.
