Hey everybody it's Tanner here and in the last blog I finished up part 1, now I'll talk a little more about spiders in part two than part one. There will be parts with tarantulas and movies that involve tarantulas and spiders. OK to start off I'm going to talk about the fishing spider. To tell you it really does fish no lie. It can get tadpoles, small fish, and frogs. When predators come they go under the water. OK tarantulas are bigger than spiders but the tarantulas are like super spiders. They spin silk but not all the time. They usually run up to their prey and eat it there. Now there is a movie that is called arachnophobia. It is about a family that moves to the county and the husband has arachnophobia. But before they move to the county, some bug scientists discover a poisonous tarantula in the jungle. The tarantula find a spot to go with the people and kill one then send the body to the county and put the the body in it's grave after the tarantula leaves and now we are all caught up now but I don't want to talk any more about but I will describe it. It is purple and black and one bite you will die, but that is the General or the leader. That's enough about describing the General I think. Back to the facts. All spiders have these things called exoskeletons. Exoskeleton means that the skeleton is on the outside. The tarantulas usually have have little hairs on them and what the Goliath Bird Eater does if it bets scared it will pick them off and throw them at whatever scared it. Now imagine an adults hand and a Mexican Red Knee Tarantula. They would be the same size. All spiders are skilled hunters and they have so many ways to kill their prey. For instance the green Lynx spider runs it's prey down and the Sydney Trap-Door makes a burrow (burrow means a tube in the ground) , the Jumping spider well it jumps on it's prey. The Daddy-Long-Leg has longer legs than other spiders. I guess that is how they got their name. They also hang out in garages. The Huntsman Spider is big and quick. They live in Australia. They don't use webs. They run their prey down. I'm running out of stuff to tell you. Oh and for your information all of this is my knowledge in my brain. Did you know the Wolf Spider's brain is smaller than it's eyes? Funny huh? In Australia there is this dangerous but cool spider that hunts other spiders. It is called the White Tail Spider. It will tap the other spiders web to get the other spiders attention because it thinks it is a insect trapped in it's web. It gets closer to the White Tail closer, closer and SNAP! It bites the other spider, turns it's insides into fluids then drinks it. OK I'm now going to talk about the Black Widow. I was going to do a separate blog but then I said who cares?
The Black Widow is very poisonous. So you might no want to get bitten. Before I go on the reason that this post took so ling is that I started it and after a couple weeks I forgot about it. Anyways, it has a red hourglass on its abdomen. It is all black. The spider that is more poisonous than the Black Widow, is the White Tail Spider. The White Tail Spider has some very bad poisons. The poisons just make your skin not want to heal. They live in Australia though. But they are still dangerous. So sorry this took so long. Have a good year!
