White Lady (spider)
''Leucorchestris arenicola,'' commonly called the dancing white lady spider, is a huntsman spider in the family '' Sparassidae'' and genus ''Leucorchestris.'' It is commonly found in the Namib desert of Namibia. It is often mistaken with the similarly named ''Carparachne aureoflava,'' or more commonly known as the wheel spider from the same location. ''L. arenicola'' relies on seismic vibrations, called drumming, for communication. It taps its foremost legs on the sand to send messages to other white lady spiders. Male ''L. arenicola'' will travel over 50 m in one night searching for a mate. If they find a mate, they must be extremely careful, for drumming the wrong message can be deadly. One of the major features that characterizes its nocturnal behavior is its specialized vision, using eight eyes in different orientations to capture a panoramic view of the surroundings. ''L. arenicola'' spiders use temporal summation in order to be able to see dim lighting during night-ti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

White Lady (plant)
''Kalanchoe thyrsiflora'' (also known as paddle plant, flapjacks, desert cabbage, white lady, geelplakkie, meelplakkie, or plakkie ) is a species of flowering plant native to Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland. Taxonomy The name ''Kalanchoe thyrsiflora'' was first validly published for this southern African species by William Henry Harvey in 1862. Based on an error introduced in The Plant List in 2012, the name ''K. thyrsiflora'' has been treated by some as a synonym of ''K. tetraphylla''. However, these two names apply to two distinct species. The name ''K. tetraphylla'' dates from 1923 and applies to a different species confined to Madagascar. Description It is a succulent plant producing a stalk about 1m tall, which dies back after flowering. It forms a basal rosette of large, rounded, fleshy, stalkless leaves, which are grayish-green with red margins, covered with a white powdery bloom. The inflorescence is terminal and erect with densely clustered thyrse-lik ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
