Spider
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 ...

Araneus Anantnagensis
''Araneus'' is a genus of common orb-weaving spiders. It includes about 650 species, among which are the European garden spider and the barn spider. The genus was erected by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1757. Description Spiders of this genus present perhaps the most obvious case of sexual dimorphism among all of the orb-weaver family, with males being normally to the size of females. In ''A. diadematus'', for example, last-molt females can reach the body size up to 1 in (2.5 cm), while most males seldom grow over 0.3 in (1 cm), both excluding leg span. Males are differentiated from females by a much smaller and more elongated abdomen, longer legs, and the inability to catch or consume prey bigger than themselves. In females, the epigyne has a long scape (a tongue-like appendage). Male pedipalps have a hook-like terminal apophysis. Abdominal tubercles are present anterolaterally. Taxonomic history ''Araneus'' was, for much of its history, called ''Epe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Arachnura Melanura
''Arachnura melanura'', also known as scorpion tailed orb-weaver, black tail spider and drag tail spider is a species of spider in the family Araneidae. It ranges from India to Japan to Sulawesi. It camouflages itself by mimicking fallen flowers, dead leaves and twigs. It replaces the capture spiral of its web daily.

Arachnura Angura
''Arachnura'', also known as drag-tailed spider, scorpion-tailed spider and scorpion spider, is a genus of Araneidae, orb-weaver spiders that was first described by A. Vinson in 1863. They are distributed across Australasia, South Asia, Southern and East Asia, Eastern Asia with one species from Africa. Females can grow up to long, while males reach only long. The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "wikt:ἀράχνη#Ancient Greek, arachne-" () and "wikt:οὐρά#Ancient Greek, uro" (), meaning "tail". The tails are only present on females, but unlike the common names suggests, these spiders aren't related to scorpiones, scorpions. They curl up their tails when disturbed, but they are completely harmless. Bites are rare, and result in minor symptoms such as local pain and swelling. They stay at the middle of their web day and night, and their bodies mimic plant litter, such as fallen flowers, twigs, or dead leaves. ''Arachnura logio'' is called Kijiro o-hiki-gumo in Jap ...

Araneidae
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields, and forests. The English word "orb" can mean "circular", hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, including many well-known large or brightly colored garden spiders. With 3,108 species in 186 genera worldwide, the Araneidae comprise the third-largest family of spiders (behind the Salticidae and Linyphiidae). Araneid webs are constructed in a stereotypical fashion, where a framework of nonsticky silk is built up before the spider adds a final spiral of silk covered in sticky droplets. Orb webs are also produced by members of other spider families. The long-jawed orb weavers (Tetragnathidae) were formerly included in the Araneidae; they are closely related, being part of the superfamily Araneo ...

Anyphaenidae
Anyphaenidae is a Family (biology), family of Araneomorphae, araneomorph spiders, sometimes called anyphaenid sac spiders. They are distinguished from the sac spiders of the family Clubionidae and other spiders by having the abdominal spiracle placed one third to one half of the way anterior to the spinneret (spider), spinnerets toward the epigastric furrow on the underside of the abdomen. In most spiders the spiracle is just anterior to the spinnerets. Like Sac spider, clubionids, anyphaenids have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets and are wandering predators that build Spider silk, silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks. There are more than 500 species in over 50 genera worldwide. The family is widespread and includes such common genera as ''Anyphaena'' (worldwide except tropical Africa and Asia) and ''Hibana'' (New World). Only one species (''Anyphaena accentuata, A. accentuata'') occurs in nort ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
