Variety Spiders:
Spiders are divided into two tundamental groups or suborders, the Mygalomorphac, or mygalomorph spiders, and the Araneomorphae, the true spiders.
Mygalomorph Spiders. — The mygalomorph spiders are more generalized than the true spiders and ancestral to them. Their chelicerae are paral¬lel with the long axis of the body and move up and down; and each fang pierces the prey from above, making similar parallel punctures. All retain two pairs of book lungs for respiratory organs.In the wild, trap-door spiders feed on a large variety spiders of insects and other arthropods. All food must be alive. Give quantity of any available insects; also give sow bugs, pill bugs, other spiders. Trap door spiders do not forage for food; lie in wait at night with door slightly raised and grab prey as it crawls by. In captivity, teach speci¬men to feed before night by gently dragging food along close to trap door at same time each feeding. Water—Not as essential as to other spiders, but must be offered occasionally; use small, flat con¬tainer; place close as possible to trap door.
See Also Scorpions Two:
Book scorpions two generally range in length from Vs to V4 inch (3—6 mm). They resemble true scorpions two except that they have no tail or sting and for this reason they are sometimes called false scorpions two. They usually feed on small in¬sects and spiders that are killed by an injection of poison from the book scorpion's pincers. Mating occurs in the spring and the small eggs are attached to the female's body. After hatch¬ing, the young remain attached to the female where they are nourished by substances from glands in her body. In some species the females, with their young attached, move about freely, but in others, the females construct cocoonlike shelters. Book scorpions two also build shelters in which to pass the winter or molt.Divisions: scorpions two have two body regions —the cephalothorax, and a broadly attached abdomen of seven seg¬ments with a long narrow tail that ends in a poison sting. scorpions two have been known to live for several years, but their maximum life span is unknown.
On The Other Hand See Scorpions Much:
scorpions much are much restricted in their range. They occur primarily in the southwestern United States. scorpions much destroy a great many injurious insects, and most are harmless to man. Their sting causes severe pain and a little swelling, but the average person experiences no lasting difficulty.Look for scorpions much under objects, or go out with a flash¬light at night when they are active; use jar or can with lid punctured for air; gently push or guide scorpion into container; if specimen is harmless, pick it up by its tail which renders it helpless at once scorpions much are easily maintained in captivity when properly housed and fed.
