Females lay about 300 to 400 eggs per cocoon, and about four cocoon's every summer. The black widow spider is nocturnal, it hunts and moves about at night. It is a very dangerous spider. In fact its venom is 15 times more dangerous than that of a rattlesnake. It is an invertebrate animal belonging to the arachnid family, to the class of the arthropods.
This is a project about the Gila monster. With the name of Gila monster, some people may think it is a mythical creature or a sea animal. That is not correct. The venomous Gila monster (pronounced HEE-luh) is the largest lizard native to the United States. It’s scientific name is Heloderma suspectum.
The females are the most aggressive, showing in their size and behaviour around other spiders and species, as they are very territorial creatures. One of the main reason they are well known and fear is because of their bite. Known to be the most toxic as it is made up of “neurotoxins polypeptides that affect the nervous system” it is called “Laxcotoxin” The bite itself will feel like a pin prick, however within the first couple of hours you will
If the following paragraphs we will discuss in detail each phrase and how the spider and speaker relate. In the first stanza we read that the speaker is observing a spider with great detail: “A noiseless patient spider,/I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,/Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,/It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,/Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.” At this point it would appear that the speaker is almost mesmerized by the spider’s actions and very drawn to the web that is being created by this little creature. The isolation of this spider is what the speaker is feeling so he immediately can relate to the spider. The use of “how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,” initially makes you think that he is lonely but could also lead to the belief that he has much to explore around him. The spider has so much to explore but how is he going to do it?
Whitman's poem uses mark'd twice (lines 2 and 3), filament three times (line 4), O my soul twice (lines 6 and 10), and till three times (lines 9 and 10). Whitman also intensifies his poem with figurative language; such as alliteration in line 3 – “vacant vast”, line 4 “forth filament, filament, filament”, lines 6 and 7 “stand, surrounded, detached”. Adding information about this unattached spider surrounded by “measureless oceans of space”
Energy & Matter for Critter I. PART ONE * TraFly is a Carnivore because it’s diet consists of insects, beetles, ants, and caterpillars. The source of carbohydrates comes from crickets, red ants, and June beetles. Out of those, crickets have the most carbohydrates. The source of protein comes from caterpillars, crickets, red ants, and June beetles.
This wasp has two pairs of wings and an ovipositor on the female. The wings of the trichogramma differ from the typical membranous winged moth, as the trichogramma wings are short with long fringy hairs. Regardless of its small size, this parasitic wasp is a professional destroyer of the eggs of over 200 species of leaf-eating moths and butterflies. During the course of the female’s 10-day life, she seeks out potential host eggs, to lay her own eggs in, by picking up their scent. Once a suitable host egg is found, she measures the egg with her antennae to determine how many eggs of her own she can lie inside.
Coatis are considered carnivores by most scientists, though they eat vegetation and carrion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrion) as well, which would make them omnivores. Primarily omnivores, coatis usually look for fruit. Coatis eat palms, eggs, beetles, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, termites, lizards, small mammals, and rodents. The predators of the coati are other carnivores. Enemies include jaguarondis, foxes, dogs, ocelots, and jaguars.
The latter lines convey the restless soul and its search to reach eternity. The poet comes across a solitary spider on a promontory, sitting in its web alone and isolated. It’s doing the trickiest, most uncertain part of the job: It’s shooting out lots of little strings, trying to get one of them to stick to something. As we watches closely, the spider secretes its filament to create a web, as if to explore the vacant space around it through the web. The poet here notes the spider’s tireless efforts and he is immediately reminded of his soul and the soul of man in general.
This reflects the fact that amphibians are a large part of their diet. Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diets consist of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms, leeches, lizards, amphibians, ants, crickets, frog eggs, toads, minnows, and rodents. When living near water, they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake (Thamnophis sauritus) in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses.
