Yellow spiders Sak (Cheiracanthium Punctorium)

Yellow (gold) spider lives mainly in European countries. These spiders are rather small (10 mm in length). Yellow spiders build bags of a pipe type under things like stones, so they serve as a home. Sometimes they are inside the house.

Their bites are known to be at least clinically dangerous and are often misdiagnosed as bites of the hermit's brown spider.

Spider bite causes severe pain with the development of necrotic wounds (although not as intensely as due to the brown hermit).

Like other spiders, they tend to bite on the defensive.

Black Widow

This spider is known to be very dangerous to humans because of its poison, which exceeds the poison of the rattlesnake by a multiple of 15. Black widows inhabit prairies and desert places around the world.

Female are about 2 cm in length and are more dangerous than males.

The female always kills the males after mating, which is why the black widow got its name.

They attack only when they see a threat. The poison is very dangerous, and in case of a bite, the antidote must be entered within 30 seconds.

Distributed throughout the world, in desert areas and prairies. The size of the black widow is only about 2 cm.

Females are more dangerous and smaller than males, and after mating they always kill their males, for which they received such a name. The poison of the black widow is stronger than the poison of the rattlesnake at a multiple of 15. The antidote must be injected within 30 seconds of the bite, otherwise the consequences may be the saddest.

Brown hermit spider

The brown hermit spider, or the violin spider (Loxosceles), is one of the few spiders in the world that is harmful to humans. Occurs in the Midwest and in the southeastern United States, especially in California.

The spider is small - from 0.6 to 2 centimeters - which makes it not very noticeable. He is looking for warm, dry and dark places, such as lofts, cabinets, or old tires.

Unlike most spiders with 8 eyes, the brown hermit has 6 eyes in 3 pairs.

When you bite a brown hermit, often the symptoms manifest themselves within the first 24 hours. At the same time, all the poison spreads throughout the human body. That is why it is important to hospitalize the patient as soon as possible. Hermits are not aggressive and bite only when they are under threat.

Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria nigriventer)

The Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria nigriventer) is considered one of the most dangerous spiders in the world. He lives in South America, does not create a network, and never stops at one place. That's why he got his name.

The size is only 10 centimeters in length, but it can kill about 225 mice with its poison.

He can hardly kill an adult, but can actually lead to a major allergic reaction. Fortunately, an antidote for his poison was found.

Mainly eats insects, spiders are smaller than themselves, and sometimes birds, or even lizards, which are much larger than it. He prefers to hide in fruit baskets, especially among bananas, and so he received the nickname "banana spider".

this is a very bright spider, the wanderer was named, because unlike other spiders, it does not sit in one place and does not weave spiders waiting for prey, but constantly moves in search of prey. The Brazilian spider loves bananas, there were quite a few cases when a spider was found in a box with bananas. But the basis of nutrition does not consist of fruits, but other spiders and insects, small lizards and birds.

The size of a Brazilian spider is only 10 cm. And a healthy adult man will kill his bite vryatli, modern medicine can cope with poison easily, but if a spider bites a child or a sick person, the poison can act very quickly and medical assistance may not be in time.

Like crabs they can move to the side and back.

Typically, spiders crabs are in North America, and sometimes in southern Europe and Asia.

They do not weave cobwebs, they usually hunt on the ground, hiding among vegetation, for example, flowers.

Crab spiders are not particularly dangerous for humans, they are often confused with hermits, so they are very afraid.

Water spiders (Argyroneta)

Asia - Snakehead

Amazing fish snakeheads can rightly be considered a universal soldier, a kind of champion in survival among their fellow men. She lives in fresh waters, her original motherland is the Far Eastern rivers of China and, of course, Russia (here the historical range of the snakehead is the widest). In the 1960s, a small population of snakehead was brought to Central Asia, where it rapidly multiplied, and now this fish lives in all the reservoirs of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.

Amateur aquatic animals brought the snakehead to North America, part of the fish was released, and Central Asian history was repeated. "Aliens" began to reproduce quickly and efficiently. What is the secret of survival of the snakehead?

First, to the wonders of nature of snakeheads is due to the fact that it can breathe atmospheric air. Moreover, it is absolutely necessary for him: in water, where there is little oxygen, he feels fine, but if he does not have access to normal "human" air - he will die even in the freshest water.

The sizes of the snakehead are quite impressive: length up to 1 m, weight up to 10 kg. In the natural habitat, he prefers to sit in overgrown areas of water bodies (where other fish because of lack of air will feel uncomfortable).

The body of the snakehead is covered with mucus, there are organs for atmospheric respiration located above the gills. This fish tolerates high mineralization, that is, even in saline reservoirs it survives safely.

Interestingly, if the reservoir dries up (and in Central Asia this happens), the cunning snakehead digs into the silt chamber and in it calmly falls asleep until the water level returns to normal.

What is most surprising is that snakeheads live without water for up to five days and do not choke, moreover, they calmly creep overland in search of favorable places for settlement. Distances for five days it can cover quite significant.

Another snakehead is called the most terrible predator. This, of course, is an exaggeration, but he really eats everything that lies badly (or rather, he crawls badly). Our predator bites with insects and larvae of insects, loves small fish, eats frogs for dessert, and does not disdain small mammals. In general, from the point of view of snakehead, game is any suitable living creature that did not manage to escape from it in time.

In some states of the USA the snakehead was declared a real war: it is poisoned in reservoirs, forbidden to keep in aquariums. This is explained just by the fantastic gluttony of our hero. Once in a fresh pond, he quickly destroys the commercial valuable fish in it, offering in return his own person. However, experts say that from the snakehead, excellent cutlets are obtained, so that Americans are wasting hysteria in vain.

Europe - European angler

The most interesting fish is a European angler in another way called the European Sea. Such an unattractive name she received for her very frightening appearance.

Handsome boy of the sea line is really difficult to name. A huge, one and a half meter long fish with a naked flat body without scales, but with numerous growths, bone bumps and other warts. The "face" of the angler is "decorated" with a fringe of torn skin (they perform an important camouflage role - stir in the streams of water, imitating the seaweed strips). A huge mouth with a protruding lower jaw, from which carnivorous protruding sharp teeth, too, special charm is not added to the angler.

However, the sea features a very quiet creature: it is unlikely that he ever dreamed of the glory of a goldfish. He lies still at the bottom (at a depth of 18 to 550 meters), lights his "romantic" flashlight, formed by the first ray of the dorsal fin - and, waiting for some careless fish to swim up to the light, completely non-romantic way it eats. The monstrous mouth works like a clock: "So what, that ugly? But well-fed! "- As if a grudge tells us.

The European angler lives in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Europe. Nerestitsya this "handsome" at a depth of 180 meters, and young fish begin their predatory activity has already reached a length of 5 - 6 cm (recall, an adult angler reaches a length of 2 meters, although usually his "growth" is one and a half meters).

Indonesia - Atlas - the largest butterfly in the world

Atlas is considered the largest butterfly in the world. The total area of ​​its wings is 400 square centimeters. A swing reaches 30 centimeters.

Atlas lives in the tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, it is a common thing on all the islands. In India and China, too, is found, but less often.

The butterfly is valued not only for its size, but also for its silk, which is used for non-commercial purposes, but which is praised for its strength and durability. In Taiwan, Atlas cocoons are used as purses.

Atlas - an extraordinary butterfly, with very beautiful wings of a dark-burgundy color, almost triangular in shape. Transparent eyes on both front wings ... These eyes are circled in black ...

The butterfly's body is disproportionately small, and this visually makes the wings even bigger than they are.

True, the primacy of the Atlas is still disputed - for the role of the largest butterfly in the world, also Sveska Agrippina from South America aspires.

Greece - Ant Lion

The ant lion received its name thanks to its larva - a gluttonous predator with powerful jaws. He became famous for his original method of hunting - using a sand pit.

The larva digs a hole in the sandy soil. When an insect approaches the fossa, the larva throws sand or earth into it until it is pushed into a pit-trap. The insect, of course, tries to get out, but the shaky ground underfoot refuses, sucks down, where the jaws already click. If you can almost get out, the ant lion knocks down another portion of sand. All ends with the insect slipping down, with the center. And then eaten by a monstrous predator

The remaining chitin spills out.

This can be seen in the movie "My enemy" or elsewhere, this method of hunting is very common in movies and computer games. But there usually types deal with giant "lions". But at the same time it is quite possible to understand what the ant feels like, which fell into such a trap.

An adult ant lion is very similar to a dragonfly, however it has longer antennae. On them, lions from dragonflies are distinguished. True, to see flying lions can be rare, because they fly, mostly only in the middle of the night and even then - it's bad. Yes, and, in general, do not look for a meeting with them. They can really bite if they sit on you.

In the "dragonfly" "lion" is transformed after two or three years of life in the larval state. But adults become just to leave offspring and die.

It occurs throughout Europe, except for Scandinavia, the Pyrenees and Great Britain. It prefers arid regions where it is full of sand. A favorite place is the Balkan Peninsula.

Brazil - Podkolodny Spider

The Brazilian wandering spider is an aggressive and very poisonous spider from the tropical forests of South and Central America. In 2010, he entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most poisonous spider in the world.

The wandering spider has many names. Affectionately they are also called a banana spider. And if with trepidation - an armed spider (as they are called in Portuguese).

So, the paws of a banana spider can bulge up to 15 centimeters. And even for the length of the body can be at the same time almost 5 centimeters.

Their name was wandering spiders because they wander through the jungle at night. They do not have holes, they do not weave cobwebs. During the day, they hide under stones, under embankments of termites, among banana plants. In a word, dark and damp shelters prefer. In addition, people like to roam near human habitation. Or directly inside.

When a spider meets a man, it often takes a defensive posture. It looks so. The body assumes an upright position. And the front paws rise upwards - to demonstrate to the enemy the black-and-striped pattern that nature marked this dangerous creature.

Armed spider is the most poisonous spider in the world and in general is one of the most poisonous creatures. Its poison contains a powerful neurotoxin, which causes loss of muscle control and difficulty breathing, which can lead to asphyxiation. In addition, the poison causes severe inflammation and pain.

It's funny, but people's poison sometimes leads to priapism - a prolonged erection. It will last several hours, and ends, in some cases, with impotence.

The Brazilian wandering spider is one of the few spiders that represent a person's danger. And this danger increases because the spider so loves human habitation. And not only housing. A banana spider can lurk in a car, in a shoe, somewhere in a box, under any deck. So, rather open the parcels sent to you by aunt from Brazil, where there are a lot of wild spiders.

However, it is not necessary to panic. Out of people, only 2.3% of bitten people die. And this, mostly, children.

China - Crocodile Tire

Despite the awesome name, the crocodile chinizavr is just a lizard, though quite large. But for a lizard he behaves quite unusual: he swims in mountain rivers, does not lay eggs.

Its name is similar to a dinosaur, but this is not surprising, "zavr" just means "lizard". A dinosaur is a terrible lizard. Shinizavr, although quite large for a lizard - about 50 centimeters - still does not reach the dinosaurs. A crocodile is called because of fused on the tail scales, like a crocodile.

With the ancient ancestors of the shinizavar, there is only one sad detail: it, as once the giant reptiles, may be threatened with extinction. An extremely rare bus station is found only in China, in Guangxi Province. Recently, the population is also found on the northern border of Taiwan. He lives near the mountain rivers and leads a semi-aquatic life: he can sit in the water where it is shallow, can swim swiftly while hunting, but spends a lot of time on the branches over the water.

It is believed that there are less than a thousand left in China. Living in a limited area, studios are poorly understood. About their lifestyle almost nothing is known. It is clear only that these lizards are viviparous. However, the lack of information and a sufficiently large size did not prevent the movie studs from becoming pets. Shinizavrika it is quite possible to settle houses, it is necessary only to organize for it a spacious pool with pure water and competently to maintain the temperature.

Tanzania - The Black Mamba

The black mamba is the longest of all the venomous snakes of Africa. On average, its length is 2.5 meters. But some specimens grow to 4.3. In addition, it is one of the most deadly snakes in the world, one of the most terrible in Africa. Black mamba is huge, it has a strong poison, it is swift in attacks.

The black mamba was nicknamed because her inner mouth is black. The color of the rest of the body is different. These snakes come from yellowish green to metallic gray.

You can meet the black mamba on the territory of the southeast coast of Africa (and at the southern end of the continent, starting from the breadth of Lake Titicaca, lives everywhere except South Africa and Namibia). The snake has managed to adapt to different climatic zones, starting with savannas and forests and ending with rocks and swamps.

But, no matter how we are not related to this, man has captured most of the space for the needs of agriculture. Therefore, the snake is often forced to settle in the fields - for example, among the thickets of sugar cane. Snakes sometimes climb the top of the reeds and bask there in the sun.

By the way, yes, the most part of attacks on the person just is made on farmland, among deep thickets. This is exacerbated by the fact that the fields in Africa are processed, mainly by hand. 20 thousand people die every year from the bite of a black mamba. But to kill out of vengeance a black mamb is simply not possible.

It is the fastest snake in the world, it is able to move in space at speeds of up to 23 km / h (this is 6.4 meters per second!) But its speed is not used by the snake to pursue (it hunts while sitting in ambush), but to save from threats. As soon as the mamba sees the slightest danger, it immediately evaporates.

Most black mamba is afraid of mongooses. These animals hunt snakes, and the poison does not act on them. True, the mongoose kill mostly young black mambs, but with adults and strong people prefer not to get involved. But wild boars, devour and those and others.

Regardless of whether you are allergic to bites or not, be sure to consult a doctor if bites fall on such places as the face, nose, mouth or throat, since these places are most susceptible to an allergic reaction.

With a weak local reaction to a bite, it is enough to perform a small treatment, you can do without it. However, for allergic or toxic reactions, medical attention must be provided.

Here are the main points when helping with an insect bite:

1. If the stinger remains in the wound, remove it with a blunt knife or nail. But do not squeeze it, because when squeezed into the wound, additional poison is released. Wasps, bumblebees and hornets do not leave stings, since those do not have chipping. Flies and mosquitoes did not sting.

2. Rinse the bite with soap and water. When biting a fly or a spider, it is necessary to treat the wound with some antiseptic.

3. In order to alleviate the pain, apply ice or soak the bitten place with an aqueous solution of baking soda.

4. Bite a hand or a leg, put it higher to reduce swelling and swelling.

5. Be careful not to overlook the symptoms of the general reaction of the body or a tumor that can spread further from the site of the bite. If the reaction to the bite seems very serious, immediately hurry to the doctor, to the hospital.

6. Emergency medical aid requires bites of such spiders as Karakurt ("black widow") or tarantula. The victim should be immediately taken to the hospital, regardless of the symptoms.

7. Do not apply strings, do not suck out poison from the wound and do not cut at the bite place.

8. If possible, grab the dead insect with you to the doctor to identify him.

On the talismans of magicians, you can often see images of insects and reptiles, and it is poisonous ones.

Egyptian Scarab(the big beetle of golden color) - one of the most widespread images used for magic talismans. This is one of the most remarkable figures of insects. The scarab symbolized the strength of the body and the resurrection of the spirit, the eternal and incomprehensible creator - the lord of the sun (the god Ra).

Egyptians often used the body of a scarab to make various talismans, for which they put on it special inscriptions that have a sacred meaning. Often talismans in the form of a scarab made by Egyptians from ordinary or precious stones, as well as from burnt clay covered with glaze. Many small scarabs were used as beads. Egyptian warriors wore scarabs as a special symbol of fertility, believing that these insects were only males.

The Egyptians also used scarabs as talismans to decorate ancient pyramids and sarcophagi. Since this beetle symbolized the resurrection of the soul, it was inserted instead of the carved heart in the mummification of the dead. The tradition of the Egyptians to use the figure of the scarab for talismans was readily adopted by subsequent generations, in particular, by people engaged in magic and witchcraft.

Scorpio, a figure which for a long time has been attributed great magical significance. Scorpio named one of the major constellations, so it is present among the signs of the zodiac. His image was often placed on objects of antiquity and the Middle Ages, which were endowed with magical properties.

Many ancient rituals and medieval mysteries were held only at a time when the constellation Scorpio appeared in the sky.

Scorpio is a poisonous insect stinging its tail. That is why he was considered a slanderer and a deceiver. His figure on talismans often symbolizes malice, betrayal, persecution. According to the Egyptian mysteries, the scorpion was considered a symbol of the spinal fire, which, reaching the base of the back, destroys a person. But he is also a sign of wisdom, because the fire he controls can both radiate and absorb energy.

Scorpio was especially often used as a talisman in the Middle Ages. Hieroglyphic Arachne, according to the belief, could cure many diseases (it was made of metal and was made under the influence of certain planetary configurations). And Paracelsus advised wearing such a talisman to those who suffer from diseases of the genital area.

Butterfly, depicted on the talisman, has long symbolized the human soul and the stages that it passes in order to deploy its forces for flight. These stages resemble human life (as detailed in the Mystery School). Thus, a non-regenerated and helpless person is symbolized by the stage between the egg and the larva.

A person who is searching for truth and immersed in meditation, occupies the stage between the larva and the pupa. The third stage (from a pupa to an adult), from where the perfect butterfly comes out, is the symbol of a man with an enlightened soul - wings and the ability to soar to heaven.

As for the image   spider, then its values ​​are interpreted in different ways. The shape of the spider makes it a suitable symbol of the nerve node in the human body. Often, the spider mascot has a demonic meaning, because it is more terrible than other insects, and it is poisonous. Paracelsus believed that the spider is endowed with great, but evil forces, used only by black magicians in their impure enterprises.

Talisman with image bees  - a sign that happiness and prosperity can be found only on the path of diligence and hard work. The bee is also a symbol of wisdom: how a bee collects nectar from flowers, so a person extracts wisdom from the experience of everyday life. This is the meaning given to talismans with bees in Masons,

In the ancient Indian magical rituals, the bee was given a somewhat different meaning. Here it was considered a symbol of the generating and reproducing power - because of its role in pollination.

  Flyon a talisman means mental torment because of the anguish she causes animals. But apart from this, it is given a different meaning. This image is often seen as the possession of divine power due to the ability of the fly to destroy waste and degradation products and thereby positively influence health.

On the mascot you can also meet the image   Locusts. This insect, gathering in huge schools, eclipsing the sun, destroys
everything is green and is considered a symbol of passion, disease, hatred and struggle, because these emotions destroy all the good in the human soul and devastate it, locusts on the talisman are a symbol of desperate struggle, revenge, destruction. Such a talisman can be used by a magician in a variety of activities, for example, for curing diseases that are spoiled, etc.

The subject of an image on a talisman may be ladybug  - a symbol of grace, kindness, forgiveness. This talisman will serve to save man from mental anguish, from sins (pride, envy, vengeance and others).

These spiders also eat aphids, flies, ants, etc.

Reproduction of a garden spider

The yellow garden spider tends to reproduce only once a year. Males are looking for a female. Once they find their female, they weave a little cobweb next to its web. They begin to take care of the female, plucking the threads from her web. Males always approach the female at a safe distance. This is because he never knows what he will find, and she can attack him. After successful mating with the female, he dies. Females probably eat their dead partner.

After mating at night, the female lays eggs on a silky leaf. Then these eggs are covered with another layer of cobweb and a third brown layer of cobweb. She creates a ball of sheets using her paws. This ball is called an egg bag, which is about 2-2.5 cm in diameter. This bag is suspended on its web near the center. One female spider can produce from 1 to 4 egg bags containing more than 1000 eggs. She guards them as long as she can, and dies in the first severe frosts.

And these are the biggest spiders in the world

Patchyidae Teraphosa Blonda

The biggest spiders are spiders tarantulas. For the first time they were found and described by the French entomologist Latreille in the distant 1804. In 1965 in Venezuela, the expedition of Pablo San Martin was found the largest tarantula. His shaggy paws in the span were exactly 28 centimeters. This is enough to cover the usual dining plate. It was this individual, the tiny goliath, who got into the Guinness Book of Records. However, later the specialists found an even larger spider.

This species of spiders occurs in the tropical forests of Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, but single specimens were recorded in Brazil and Venezuela. Its name "tarantula" animal does not justify. Because of its awesome size and habitat, on trees, it was believed that the spider eats birds. But the frog feeds only frogs, small rodents, fledglings, lizards and small snakes. Tropics are a real paradise for the biggest spider. The photos show that they live in deep holes, crevices of rocks, hollows of trees, and the entrance is covered with cobwebs. The bird-catcher does not weave a trap for his victim, but catches them himself. They have, apart from the networks, another weapon - strong jaws. It should be noted that spiders eat only liquid food. They, as a rule, suck the victim and leave from her only a dry shell.

These are the biggest spiders that weave cobwebs. They are also called banana spiders, giant tree spiders. And they are the real thunder of birds. The size of the body of this spider is from 1 to 4 centimeters, and the swing of the legs can be up to 12 centimeters.

It should be noted that the female spiders of nephil are much larger than males. The swing of the legs of this giant fossil spider reached 15 centimeters. Among their victims there are even small birds. By the way, you can find such an animal in Australia, Africa, Asia, America and Madagascar.

Now in the fossil known 6 species of the genus nefila. Five of them are from Neogene (Dominican amber, 16 million years old), one from Eocene (USA, 34 million years) and Jurassic period (165 million years).

The poison of these spiders is stronger, but for a person not deadly. He has a neurotoxic effect, like in karakurt. The bite does not hurt the whole body, but only the place is stricken. After this, blisters appear and disappear within 24 hours. Sometimes allergic reactions to a nephil bite are possible, and asthmatics have difficulty breathing. This genus of spiders possesses strong chelicera, so a small scar on the thin skin (for example, on the fingers) can remain from the bite.

This species of spider is even smaller than the tarantula. The size of the female is from 1.7 to 2.6 centimeters. The male is even smaller. They live mainly in Europe. You can meet them in Russia, for example, in the Astrakhan, Smolensk, Rostov regions, as well as in the Altai.

The spider waits for its prey on the web. He sits either in the center or next to the signal thread. The main food is mosquitoes and flies. But if there is something poisonous in the net, the cross cuts the threads and releases their nets. Usually the web of the crosspiece can be seen on the crowns of trees, between branches. You can immediately see the threads when visiting a forest, a grove or a garden. The poison of the spider-cross is toxic to vertebrates and invertebrates. Thermolabile hemolysin, which is part of the poison, acts on the red blood cells of rabbit, mouse, rat and even human.
