The one thing a spider is afriad of is attack form overhead (primarily wasps looking to lay eggs) You could see if your spider is more of less likely to treact to different colours/shapes suspended overhead.  Or even how it would react to a mirror.

They COD if you're not careful.  PLAICE them in a shaded area. They like music - it's calms them as long as it's on pitch - get a piano TUNA if necessary. Don't play it too loud though - it could be a bit of a SHARK to their system  They are partial to modern art too - particularly Jackson POLLOCK!\n\nDid you ask this question on PORPOISE to get answers like this? Would you like me to FINish now?  Or should we KIPPER line of communication open? If so, you'll be HERRING from me again shortly!

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.

"Random Non-sensical Stuff"\n\nYes, this is what I need! I need a category where I can ask if it snows in Honduras will the spotted meal worm be able to approach puberty in time. \n\nOr......these three which will now and forever remain near and dear to my heart:\n\nIf you were a freshly harvested eggplant would you feel guilty that most of your nutrition was erased by the fact you were breaded and deep fried and turned into eggplant parm?\n\nDo erasers silently scream when you traumatically scrape their head across the paper leaving behind tiny bits of their scalps?\n\nIf you were born with more than the normal number of toes would you hide your malady in shame or would you try to exploit it on the sideshow circuit?\n\n\n\nI shall now campaign for "Random Non-sensical Stuff!"

to have a good idea have a look at the article below. hoppe it helps... it's a bit long but will have what you need properly explained...\n\n\n\nPollination Adaptations\nFlowers need to be pollinated. Pollination is the process of moving the pollen grain from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a carpel. There are a few flowers that can self-pollinate all on their own, but this limits them to inbreeding. Most species rely upon some kind of pollination vector to accomplish pollination. The vector can be any agent that can move pollen from anther to stigma. \n\nThere is evidence of water and wind as the pollination vector in certain species, but many species do not depend upon the random or downstream-only pollination pathways offered by these vectors. Indeed such vectors are only useful in situations where large populations of a very limited number of species are present. \n\nMost flowers have evolved to use a "smart bomb" or "magic bullet" vector...animals! These vectors have sensory organs to locate flowers, they have locomotion to get them to the flowers in spite of large spaces between individuals, and they have enough intelligence to remember that they can depend upon a reward if they visit one particular species repeatedly. \n\nAttracting the Pollinator\nIn order to effectively use an animal pollination vector, a flower needs to attract the animal for the first visit. This can be done in one of two ways: visual cues and olfactory cues. \n\nVisual Cues\nSome species use a color pattern known as a "bull's eye" to mark their position in the environment...to stand out against a background of green foliage. Obviously not too many animal-pollinated flowers are leaf-green! \n\na black-eyed susan...recall that there are over 100 species of unrelated black-eyed susans...one of the problems of common names. This one is in the genus, Rudbeckia. Notice its obvious bull's eye target appearance. The bull's eye is black and the yellow ring surrounds it to make it quite noticeable. \n\n\nThe daylily (Hemerocallis) also shows a prominent bull's eye, but notice how the color pattern is reversed. The bull's eye is light in color and the ring around it is very dark. The effect is the same however, the flower is going to be obvious to a potential pollinator flying overhead. \n\n\nIt is important that whatever color pattern is used is within the visible range of colors observable by the pollinator. Colors obvious to one animal may be invisible to another. Gaillardia (painted daisy). This species obviously uses a yellow bull's eye with surrounding red and yellow rings. One gets the appearance of a dartboard just looking at it. The pollinator visiting is butterflies. Butterflies definitely are attracted to red/yellow patterns, and they need the large landing platform provided by this wide flower. \n\n\nOn the other hand, Gaillardia does not limit its pollination to just butterflies. An afternoon of observation will tell you that even more visits are made by honeybees! Bees have no ability to perceive red colors, so how does that red/yellow pattern look to a bee? This requires some mental translation and some special photography for a human to appreciate what a bee might observe. \n\nFirst we need to eliminate red from the image. This can only be accomplished with fancy video work or black-and-white photography.\n\n\nBee vision does not include red, but it does extend into the ultraviolet. In other words, bees see colors that are invisible to us! Our film is not very sensitive to ultraviolet because it has been developed for showing images visible to humans. To correct that and see the ultraviolet patterns in these flowers, we need to use yet another filter. This filter blocks visible light and allows ultraviolet light to expose the film. Below is the ultraviolet image of the same two daisies taken seconds later with both filters in place: \n\n\ncenter of each daisy is totally absorbin

Author:      Lou Harnisch\n"This falls under the study to social contact (grooming) for species that have, particularly mammals that have highly social groupings.  Being ticklish would certainly draw more attention to that individual from other members of the group.  Creates positive interactions that strength bonds.  It would be interesting if one could find a structural (receptor) or physiological (brain wave pattern) that would be strongly correlated with the "ticklish state" and see if these kinds of things are found only in highly social mammalian species."\nAlso\n"Because tickling involves the sensitivity of our skin, we do start out with natural differences in ticklishness, much as we have differences in our hearing or eyesight.\n\nBut tickling is different because it's social; it's not like sight or smell, says Robert R. Provine, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Maryland who studies the tickling response and is the author of the forthcoming book ``Quest for Laughter.''\n\n``The tickling story is far more interesting than anyone has anticipated,'' says Provine. ``If you think the social component is not important, try tickling a stranger.''\n\nAlthough tickling, like reflexes, involves neurological mechanisms, it is far more than an involuntary response. You can give yourself a knee-jerk reflex, but you can't tickle yourself, says Provine. Tickling is a form of communication used between friends, family and lovers, and one that Provine thinks may play a key role in the evolution of our social and sexual behavior.\n\nChimps tickle each other during play. Children are playfully tickled by their parents and other children of both sexes. Above the age of puberty, though, tickling usually is a form of flirtation, he says.\n\nSo why are some people more sensitive than others? Provine theorizes that the differences lie largely in who is doing the tickling. You may be highly sensitive to being held down and tickled by an older brother, for instance, because it's somewhat aversive. But a lover's tickling may not annoy you at all.\n\nAcquiring sensitivity to ticklish stimuli might have been highly useful in our evolutionary past, says Provine. It would have warned us if a poisonous scorpion was crawling along our neck. And the parts of our bodies that are highly vulnerable to injury, like our feet, chest and armpits, are among the most ticklish."

I think that it is a natural behavior for a chimp.  Have her spayed, maybe that will sove your problem.

No Mojo, this is a Urban Myth.  To find something large enough to fit your Tux, we are looking at at least a Turkey Blaster.\n\nI have heard of experiments currently being done in a secret South Carolina location by the Department of Homeland Security involving ten thousand live turkeys, each with their own computer and high speed Internet connection, pecking away to reproduce your questions for Yahoo! Answers.  So far they have only got about half of Bill Shakespeare's plays and two Ogden Nash poems.

You could also take photos of objects that would get radiant heat from the sun, versus other heat sources.You could do a stufy with animals and tie it to metabollic uses. reptiles vs mammals.\n\nIf it is a video camera you could do a number of studies with exercise and muscle blood flow.

Most of the 800 species of true tarantulas are black and brown with some variation of color on the knees and elsewhere. The Chilean Rose Hair and the Mexican Red Knee are most commonly pets. A tarantula costs $20 to $40 but adults can cost several hundred dollars and housing for the spider costs another $40. The Giant White Knee, Chaco Golden Knee, and Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater are also commonly used as pets.
