Male spiders gift female spiders dead insects wrapped in webs to request mating. Some spiders can eat bats and fish that are larger than themselves. Spiders are capable of living underwater, in space, and almost everywhere around the world except Antarctica. Climate change is making some spiders angrier due to evolutionary changes brought on by more frequent tropical storms. Male spiders can lay thousands of eggs at once by producing multiple egg sacs with around two hundred eggs each.

Anacondas are large, nonvenomous snakes found in tropical South America. They live in swamps, rivers, and other bodies of water near rainforests. Anacondas reach up to 35 feet in length and feed on large prey like deer, pigs, birds, and fish. They reproduce through mating balls where multiple males swarm around a single female in an attempt to breed. While anacondas are not currently threatened, loss of habitat in tropical rainforests affects their populations.
Amelia & Jessies Cockroaches
Cockroaches are incredibly hardy insects that can survive for long periods without food or water. They have been around for over 350 million years, before dinosaurs existed. Cockroaches can squeeze into tiny spaces, run quickly, and sense movement and vibrations with antennae and leg hairs. There are over 4,000 types of cockroaches worldwide, and New Zealand has a native species called the Kekerengu, known for its strong odor.
Spiders
Spiders are arthropods that are found worldwide except Antarctica. Their bodies are divided into two parts - the cephalothorax and abdomen. They breathe through book lungs and can spin silk from spinnerets on their abdomen, which they use to build nests, catch prey, and move around. Spiders have modified mouthparts called chelicerae that inject venom and enzymes into prey to paralyze and liquify it for consumption. Females lay eggs in silk sacs and guard them until the spiderlings hatch.

This document provides information about lemurs. It discusses lemurs' diet including fruits, flowers, insects, and more. It also lists predators such as eagles and snakes. Additional details are given about lemurs' physical characteristics like their wet nose and grooming claw. Lemurs live in rainforests in Madagascar and Africa. They give birth to 1-2 young and can live up to 30 years. The document concludes by revealing that it is about lemurs and provides a bibliography.
The platypus
The platypus faces several limiting factors in its environment. [1] It has many predators that it must defend against, so it evolved to secrete venom from spurs on its hind limbs, making it one of the few venomous mammals. [2] As a mammal that lives in an aquatic environment, it developed physical adaptations like webbed feet, fur to stay dry and warm, and a bill to locate food underwater without sight or hearing. [3] These adaptations allow it to thrive despite the challenges of predators and living in the water.
Cockroach
Cockroaches are highly adaptive insects that can survive on many food sources and in varied environments. There are over 4,600 cockroach species, but only 30 share habitats with humans, with the German, American, Australian, and Oriental cockroaches being the most common pest species. Effective cockroach control requires preventing access to food, water, and shelter as well as regular cleaning and maintenance to deny habitats. Monitoring with traps helps locate infestations and track treatment effectiveness. A combination of residual sprays, non-residual sprays, dusts, and baits applied according to label instructions can help control cockroaches, with baits being particularly effective as they allow slow ingestion of poison.

Slug presentation final
Slugs play an important role in ecosystems by eating decaying plant material. They have two pairs of tentacles on their head for seeing and smelling, and breathe through a hole in their middle. Slugs move using mucus and muscle contraction from their foot, leaving behind a slime trail. They can lay 20-100 eggs several times a year in holes or under objects. Slug eggs can lay dormant for years before hatching when conditions are right, from 10 days up to 100 days depending on temperature. Newly hatched slugs immediately begin crawling and feeding at night if humidity and temperature allow.

Moles are subterranean mammals that live underground for most of their lives, feeding primarily on earthworms. Their tunneling and mound-building activities can cause damage in lawns and gardens. Trapping is an effective and environmentally-friendly method for controlling mole populations, with traps recommended for surface runs and tunnels leading away from fresh molehills.
Bag Worm Moth, 20 slides.
1. The bagworm (Eumeta crameri) is a species of moth that builds protective silk bags that it lives within as a larvae.
2. As a larvae, the bagworm attaches pieces of twigs and bark to its silk bag, which it renews periodically throughout its larval stage to accommodate growth.
3. The female adult moths are wingless and die inside their bags after mating and laying eggs, while male moths die outside after mating. Their bags provide protection throughout development.
Beetles
The document discusses the bombardier beetle. It provides details about the beetle's physical characteristics such as having wings, antennae, mouthparts, abdomen, thorax and head. It also discusses the beetle's taxonomy, habitats, defense mechanism where it shoots out hot chemical spray, role in the environment, and longevity with over 30,000 species that have existed for 300 million years. The document concludes with a bibliography citing various references used to describe the bombardier beetle.
Genevieves Project Redback Spiders
Redback spiders are found throughout Australia and have a distinctive red stripe on their upper abdomen. Mature females are black with a red stripe and grow up to 1 cm, while males are smaller and brown with red and white markings. Redback spiders eat insects caught in their vertical, funnel-shaped webs built in sheltered places like under logs, rocks, or in buildings. Only female redback bites are dangerous to humans, and can cause pain, sweating, nausea and possibly death, though antivenom is available.
Hedgehog by Paula.Natalia.Irene.Cristina
Hedgehogs are easily recognized by their spines which they use for defense by rolling into a tight ball. They have an omnivorous diet that includes insects, snails, frogs, snakes, bird eggs, carrion, mushrooms, berries and other plant material. As with many small mammals, cars pose a threat as hedgehogs attempt to cross roads. Hedgehog reproduction involves litters of 3-6 newborns after a 35-58 day gestation period, and adult males sometimes kill newborn males. Their lifespan in the wild ranges from 2-7 years depending on the species.
Ants - Social organisation and types of nests
This document discusses the morphology and life cycle of ants. It describes the different castes of ants - queens, workers, soldiers, drones and princesses - and their roles. It also discusses ant nest structures and types, including mounds, cavities in plants, suspended carton nests, and unusual living nests formed by army ants clinging together. Weaver ants are noted for sewing leaves together to form nests. The life cycle of ants involves the queen laying eggs that hatch into larvae cared for by workers, who then spin cocoons and emerge as new ants.
Duck billed platypus
The duck-billed platypus is a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal found in eastern Australia and Tasmania. It has a duck-like bill, webbed feet, a flat tail, and produces venom from ankle spurs. The platypus lays eggs and feeds its young milk through patches of skin. It lives in burrows near freshwater lakes and rivers, feeding on aquatic invertebrates and larvae. Though once hunted, the platypus is now a protected species.
Common Vampire Bats by Thomas
The common vampire bat lives in Mexico, Central and South America, inhabiting forests, woodlands, grasslands and cities. While it primarily drinks the blood of livestock like cows, goats and pigs, it will also consume small fish, reptiles and bugs. Measuring around 3.5 inches long with a 7 inch wingspan, the common vampire bat has an average lifespan of 9 years in the wild. Though not currently endangered, they are predated by owls, falcons and raccoons.
Nuptial flight
Nuptial flight is an important part of reproduction for many ant, termite, and bee species where virgin queens mate with males. During nuptial flight, queens scatter to ensure mating with males from other colonies to avoid inbreeding, then land to remove their wings and found new colonies. Males are produced to mate with queens, and after mating the males die while the queens store the sperm and use it to fertilize eggs over their lifetimes of up to 20 years.

English project birds
The document summarizes information about several bird species:
The Golden Pheasant is a game bird native to western China with a distinctive golden crest, rump and bright red body. The Greater Bird-of-Paradise received its name because early specimens reached Europe without feet, leading to the belief they never touched the ground. The Rainbow Lorikeet is a colorful parrot found in Australia and nearby regions that lives in rainforests, coastal bush and woodlands. The Orange-bellied Parrot is a small Australian parrot, one of two that migrate, and is critically endangered with only 36 known to be alive after the 2011/2012 breeding season.
5 S Platypus
This document provides facts about the duckbill platypus. It details that the platypus lays eggs, has a lifespan of up to 16 years in the wild, and 10-12 years in captivity. Their back legs are more powerful than their front legs. Baby platypuses are born without hair, with small legs and closed eyes, and stay in their mother's burrow for the first six weeks. The platypus lives in underground burrows near water, and eats small fish, worms and bugs both in and out of water. Their webbed feet help them swim fast, and their thick fur allows them to swim underwater. The platypus is found in Australia.

The platypus lives in eastern Australia in rivers, streams, and logs. It has a duck-like bill, beaver-like tail, and eats small freshwater animals at night such as shrimp, insects, frogs, and fish eggs. The platypus is endangered due to habitat destruction, overhunting for its fur, and pollution of its streams and rivers. Efforts to help the platypus include protection under CITES, education programs, and scientific study.
Roles of 'Praying Mantis' in agriculture.
Farmers are always faced with continuous problems about pests and insects destroying their crops. This is really a big problem if it is not controlled since their crops are their main source of livelihood and income. Most farmers would use insecticides but the government is controlling the use of pesticides due to the possible effects of these chemicals to the crops. For this reason, it will be very useful if farmers are taught about praying mantis facts.
Praying mantises are actually widely used in certain parts of the world as pest control insects. They may be insects themselves but they never eat crops, leaves, or plants. This information should be shared to farmers because using praying mantises for their pest control procedures will be beneficial for them in terms of getting rid of insects that eat their crops and in helping the environment as well.
For farmers, it must be taught that praying mantises are highly predatory and they can consume numerous types of insects in their farms without posing any type of threat to their crops and plants. But praying mantises do not choose their prey too. So if they eat insects that harm your plants, they may also eat insects that actually help your crops.

Animals That Lay Eggs (with Pictures).pdf
Organisms have different methods of reproduction. To tell the truth, these different reproductive methods are the factors that divide animals into two categories: viviparous and oviparous animals. But more on that in a bit, here's a blog on the many different animals that lay eggs!
Do you want to know about animals that lay eggs?
Nature's way of maintaining the ecological balance on earth is something special. For example, Mother Nature has endowed living animals with the ability to go through the process of labor to directly give birth to their own kind.
Whereas, oviparous animals lay eggs that give birth to young as soon as they hatch.
Now, if you are stuck wondering because nature has allocated different reproductive processes to different animals, then we are just as clueless as you!
However, you can acknowledge the fact that every process created by nature is purposeful. For example, if nature has given birds the ability to lay eggs to produce their offspring, it may be for their own benefit.
The main reason for this is that birds cannot fly while carrying the weight of their young. By laying their eggs in a remote location, they thereby safeguard both themselves and their offspring.
We also understand how interested you are in learning about the ovoid animal species.
So, read on to know more about the complex egg-laying process and a description of the top 13 animals that lay eggs.
Animals That Lay Eggs
If we were to list all oviparous animals, you would get tired of reading the never-ending list!
A large number of prominent species in the animal kingdom are oviparous, including insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and even some mammals.
So, if you are ready to know about 13 animals that lay eggs, connect with us!
Birds
Birds are the first members of our list of animals that lay eggs. Birds are the most lively and colorful species of the animal kingdom, somewhat related to the ancient family of reptiles, the dinosaurs.
They are a very unique creation of nature because they are the only animals with feathers that are known to exist on Earth. These warm-blooded vertebrates are also known to be closest to reptiles due to the rough shape of their feet.
The largest birds alive today are the North African ostriches, which can reach 9 feet in height and weigh up to 350 pounds. The ostrich egg is the largest of any other bird species.
On the other hand, the smallest extant birds are Cuban native hummingbirds weighing less than 3 grams.
Also, the bird's feathers make them stand out among every other species.
However, having wings does not guarantee a bird's ability to fly. There are several flightless birds, including penguins, kiwis and ostriches, which, although they have wings, cannot fly due to some evolution that took place over the years.
Also, bird eggs have a hard shell that ensures safety and are laid in secluded areas like bird nests, such as a treetop or an abandoned room. The parents fulfill the responsibility of taking care it...
Interesting facts about vertebrates
This document presents interesting facts about various types of vertebrates. It notes that amphibians were the first vertebrates to live on land. Some turtles and tortoises can live over 100 years. Frogs can breathe through their skin as well as their lungs. The king cobra is the largest venomous snake, averaging 10-12 feet long. There are over 8,000 reptile species worldwide except Antarctica. The oldest known bird, Archaeopteryx, lived 150 million years ago and had feathers and wings.

1) Albatrosses can travel for months over open oceans covering thousands of miles and live mostly at sea, only coming to land to breed. Their wingspan can reach up to 11.5 feet.
2) Hummingbirds are the smallest birds, with some species weighing just 1.8 grams. They can hover, fly backwards and upside down thanks to wings that can twist and move in figure-eight patterns.
3) Many animals such as Arctic terns, gray whales and monarch butterflies undertake long distance seasonal migrations, sometimes traveling over thousands of miles, in response to changes in food availability, weather and breeding cycles.

AP Biology - Charles Darwin
This document summarizes key aspects of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, including:
1. Darwin observed variation among individuals in populations and noticed that some variations provided advantages in survival and reproduction.
2. Over many generations, advantageous traits became more common in populations as less-fit individuals were less likely to survive and reproduce.
3. This led to the emergence of new species that were better adapted to their local environments through natural selection of heritable traits.
4. Darwin's observations of finches on the Galapagos Islands, which had adapted to different food sources and developed distinct beak variations, provided strong evidence supporting his theory.
Eyewitness reptile
This document provides an overview of reptile anatomy and physiology. It describes how reptiles first evolved over 300 million years ago and were the dominant land animals for much of the Mesozoic era. Today there are only four major groups of reptiles: snakes, lizards, crocodilians, and turtles. The document discusses reptile skin, senses, reproduction, growth patterns, and other internal and external features. It also provides examples of different reptile species to illustrate these characteristics.
50 Remarkable Facts About Butterflies.pdf
People love to watch colorful butterflies hovering from flower to flower. But how much do you really know about these insects, from the smallest blue butterfly to the largest swallowtail?
Here are 50 amazing facts about butterflies that you’ll find fascinating.
Hymenoptera
This ppt includes different classification of bees and wasps and their functions in the environment.
Frogs.
Designed for kids to learn about frogs and their life cycles, as well as their habitats, characteristics, diet, etc.
Special mention of a few native New Zealand Frogs is made.
Brown bats by Greg
The big brown bat is the species of bat most closely associated with humans in North America due to its year-round use of buildings. While populations are currently stable, these bats are vulnerable to pesticide and habitat loss. Creating bat houses can help ensure the bats' survival. The little brown bat lives in trees, buildings, and bat houses in large nursery colonies during the summer and hibernates alone or in small groups during winter.
Can It Really Rain Frogs?
I was assigned a project in school to pick a "perplexing question" from a list of 20(things like Is there a real Dracula?, and Do fish drink water?), answer it, then present the answer to the class in a creative way. I chose "Can it really rain frogs?" and decided to make a powerpoint about it.
Desert Animals
Desert animals have evolved many adaptations to survive in harsh desert conditions with little water and high temperatures. The document discusses several desert-dwelling animals found across different deserts around the world. It describes how each animal is adapted through physical attributes, behaviors, or physiological processes to conserve water, regulate temperature, and find food in the desert environment. Examples discussed include camels that can go without water for days, nocturnal animals that are active at night to avoid heat, and plants like cacti that store water efficiently.
Reptiles
This document provides information about reptile movement, diet, reproduction, anatomy, and adaptations. It discusses how different reptiles like lizards, turtles, alligators, and crocodiles move in various ways depending on their environment. It also addresses what reptiles eat, how they reproduce, their general body structure including skin, heart, lungs, and temperature regulation. The document seeks to educate about reptiles and answer reader questions on their role in the food chain, history, adaptations, and unique species.
The coolest new species of the 21st century
The document discusses 13 of the coolest new species discovered in the 21st century. These include:
1. A cockroach-zombifying wasp named the Ampulex dementor after the soul-sucking creatures in Harry Potter.
2. A small spider from Morocco named the cartwheeling spider that can jump 6.6 feet per second to escape predators.
3. A fish discovered off the coast of Indonesia that resembles the Star Wars character Greedo, leading to it being named Peckoltia greedoi.
4. Two new species of colorful freshwater crabs from Indonesia called Geosesarma dennerle and Geosesarma hagen.
Fancy bird origion and domestication and species
Domesticated birds have a long history originating from various regions around the world. Quail were first domesticated for their meat and egg production and originate from North America. Ducks were domesticated from mallards for their meat, eggs, and down. Turkeys were first domesticated in Mexico and the southwest United States by indigenous peoples and were later introduced to Europe. Pigeons have been domesticated for over 5000 years for their eggs and as carrier pigeons. Peafowl originate from India and Sri Lanka and are kept for their beauty and eggs. Pheasants originate from China and East Asia but have been introduced worldwide. Waterfowl, geese, and swans are raised for their meat and eggs.
Spider Silks
The document discusses spiders and spider silk. It describes how spiders produce silk from specialized glands to make webs, egg sacs, draglines, and more. Spider silk is remarkably strong, stronger than steel on a weight basis. The document explores how some cultures have used spider silk and discusses modern scientific efforts to recreate synthetic spider silk through recombinant DNA technology. This research aims to develop new high-performance materials. However, the Quran describes a spider's web as the "flimsiest of houses," seeming to contradict the scientific findings on silk strength. The document resolves this by explaining spiders produce different types of silk for different purposes, and the silk used in webs is weaker than dragline silk.
Evolutionary Theory in 21st Century
This document summarizes evidence for evolution from biology, paleontology, geology, and molecular biology. It provides examples of transitional fossils, homologous structures in different species, and molecular evidence like the universal genetic code that supports common descent. Vestigial structures and imperfect biological designs are explained as consequences of evolution rather than intelligent design.
ARACHNIDS AND MYRIAPODS
Arachnids and myriapods are classes of arthropods. Arachnids include spiders, ticks, mites and scorpions and have 4 pairs of legs, pedipalps near the mouth, and chelicerae fangs. They reproduce through a male transferring sperm in a package to the female. Myriapods include millipedes, centipedes and have a range of legs from over 750 to under ten. They live in forests, mountains and moist places and eat insects or detritus depending on the species.
Insects technology class
This document provides information about various insects through poems, facts, and images. It discusses the anatomy and behaviors of house flies, fireflies, mosquitoes, bees, wasps, grasshoppers, and dragonflies. For each topic, it includes 2-3 facts and a short poem about the insect. The document is intended to educate readers about common bugs through a mix of scientific information and creative writing.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Spiders
- 1. Ten Spider Facts That Can Trigger Your Arachnophobia MALE SPIDERS GIVE GIFTS MADE OUT OF DEAD INSECTS TO FEMALE SPIDERS THERE ARE SPIDERS THAT LIVE COMPLETELY UNDERWATER As a peace offering, the male spider gifts the female spider a dead insect wrapped in web silk, which is also a request to mate. THERE ARE SPIDERS AROUND THE WORLD THAT CAN EAT BATS AND FISH Spiders in every continent, except Antarctica, are known to enjoy a meal of bat and fish occasionally. Size doesn’t really matter to such spiders that can consume creatures five times bigger than them. SPIDERS CAN FLY DOWN IN GROUPS LIKE RAIN This phenomena happens when spiders climb up anywhere as high as possible and then use their webs to jump down in a twisted version of paragliding. SPIDERS IN URBAN SPACES ARE LARGER THAN IN ANY OTHER PLACE It is the lack of vegetation, hard concrete surfaces that is leading to such a change in the size of spiders. SPIDERS EAT THEIR OWN WEBS ONCE THEY ARE DONE WITH THEM Once the webs are too dirty or unusable, spiders eat them and use the nutrients they gain from it to spin new webs. There is a kind of spider called the diving bell spider that spends most of its time underwater and is commonly found in Asia and Europe. SPIDERS ARE CAPABLE OF SURVIVING IN SPACE Based on several experiments done by NASA, it was discovered that orb-weaving spiders can survive in space. SPIDERS CAN BE FOUND ALMOST EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD You can find spiders in every continent except Antarctica. It was found in a study in North Carolina that for every fifty rooms examined, only five turned out to be spider-free. SPIDERS ARE GETTING ANGRIER DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE This is especially true in the case of spiders living in cyclone-prone areas, where tropical storms are bringing evolutionary changes in spiders and making them angrier than ever. SPIDERS CAN LAY THOUSANDS OF EGGS AT A TIME Since spiders can produce around nine egg sacs each of which can contain around two hundred eggs.
