	Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge Frederick Octavius Pickard-Cambridge (3 November 1860 – 9 February 1905) was an English arachnologist. He is sometimes confused with his uncle, Octavius Pickard-Cambridge (1828–1917), who was also an arachnologist and from whom F. O. Pickard-Cambridge picked up his enthusiasm for the study of spiders. Life F. O. Pickard-Cambridge was born in Warmwell, Dorset, where his father was rector. He became a curate at St Cuthbert's church in Carlisle for a few years after having been educated at Sherborne School and Exeter College, Oxford. He left to become a professional biological illustrator, and in 1894–1895 spent several months in the Amazon as a naturalist on board the SS ''Faraday''. He found much of interest on his voyage and began writing papers in 1896 to describe the spiders he discovered. He had a promising career ahead of him, but this promise was not to be fulfilled. Bristowe, writing in the book ''British Spiders'', 1951, said of this time in F. O. Pickard-Cam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	1901 In Science The year 1901 in science and technology involved some significant events, listed below. Biology * Okapi, a relative of the Giraffe found in the rainforests around the Congo River in north east Zaire, is discovered (previously known only to local natives). * Publication of Robert Ridgway's ''The Birds of North and Middle America'' by the Smithsonian Institution begins. * Edmund Selous publishes the book ''Bird Watching'' in the U.K., giving rise to the term ''birdwatching''.

	Cupiennius ''Cupiennius'', known by the common name bromeliad spiders or as the often confused name banana spiders, is a genus of araneomorph spiders in the family Trechaleidae, named by Eugène Simon in 1891. They are found from Mexico to northwestern South America, and on some Caribbean islands. Unlike the dangerously venomous ''Phoneutria'', bites from these spiders typically have only minor effects on humans, and have been compared to a bee sting. Members of this genus come in a range of sizes, from cephalothorax lengths less than to large species, with a cephalothorax length of . The larger species are sometimes found far outside their native ranges in shipments of fruits, where they are frequently confused with ''Phoneutria'' spiders. Description These spiders hide during the day then come out to hunt during the night. They usually hide in particular plants, usually in bromeliads, agaves and the banana family. They are medium to large spiders, and are usually a grey, brown o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Trechaleidae Trechaleidae (''tre-kah-LEE-ih-dee'') is a family of Araneomorphae, araneomorph spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1890, and includes about 140 described species in 16 genera. They all live in Central America, Central and South America except for ''Shinobius, Shinobius orientalis'', which is endemic (ecology), endemic to Japan. Other names for the family are longlegged water spiders and fishing spiders. Genera , the World Spider Catalog accepts the following genera: ''Amapalea'' Silva & Lise, 2006 – Brazil ''Barrisca'' Chamberlin & Ivie, 1936 – South America, Panama ''Caricelea'' Silva & Lise, 2007 – Peru ''Cupiennius'' Eugène Simon, Simon, 1891 – Mexico to northwestern South America ''Dossenus'' Simon, 1898 – Trinidad, South America ''Dyrines'' Simon, 1903 – South America, Panama ''Enna_(spider), Enna'' O.

picture info	Spiders Of Central America Spiders ( order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat. , 50,356 spider species in 132 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been debate among scientists about how families should be classified, with over 20 different classifications proposed since 1900. Anatomically, spiders (as with all arachnids) differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel, however, as there is currently neither paleontological nor embryological evidence that spiders ever had a separate t ...
