Do some spiders raise their babies?

Many spider families including Pisauridae and Lycosidae spend lengthy amounts of time with their offspring. Nursery web spiders will carry the egg sac in their fangs sometimes for more than a month and then they will attach the eggs to some sort of substrate and wait nearby t protect them until the young hatch and leave the nest.\nWolf spiders will carry the eggs on their abdomen until the young hatch, then they will crawl around on the mother's back unitl they are ready to leave and then they just drop off as they please.\nOther web building spiders will keep the egg sac in the nest but dont really dedicate any time to guarding or transporting them, their presence alone and a very large sticky web are usually enough to keep any would-be predators away.\n\nhope this answers your question!

I not sure, but, sometimes I play with these fuzzy little spiders as they seem to enjoy it. I poke at them with my finger and they run and then jump on my finger and look around as if they playing. As I look at them they seem to take on a personality that seems to have a face, including a nose. ;-)

Magic, including voodoo, only works if the victim believes in it. If you believed his curses, you might start to subconsciously see signs of it, like these spider coincidences. If you don't believe in curses, they can't affect you. Unfortunately, you seem to think that these spiders are somehow connected to him. You've got to realize how silly that sounds, if you'll forgive my rudeness; nobody can control spiders. There's a good reason there are spiders in your new abodes; among other things, spring is a time when spiders are hatched and grow and feed on other bugs so you can notice more of them.\n\nOf course, if you find yourself believing in something, it's always hard to stop. In this case, it might be wise for you to try some magic of your own, whichever brand you prefer.\n\nStill, his death threats make me worry about more readily bodily harm for you.

The manner in which the aliens breed is going to be the same regardless of what species they breed with.  Yes, the alien baby will take on certain aspects of it's birth parent; however it will never not have acid for blood or not shed skin as it grows or not have a double mouth or not breed through laid eggs.  Therefore it's a dominant species with absorbs only the physical genetic aspects of a host.  It is and always will be an alien.  It might look a little like a predator but it's an alien.

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.

Well if it was similar in appearance to a black widow it is most likely in the same family (Theriididae) they are actually a very common family throughout the world. Many juvenile and male widows are colored in this manner, typically mottled, with red, yellow and black markings. It is possible that the spider you saw is in fact a widow (Latrodectus spp.).\nWhen young spiders are present, there is no real danger, they are not aggressive and can actually be handled without danger, but if the species in question is new to you, just handle it like you did, that was the best way to handle the situation.\nIf in fact the nest belonged to that spider, then it is most likely not a true widow, becasue in that area, the adults are the typical black with red hourglass, so then there would be no need to worry.\n\nhere are some images of young widows to compare it to\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/80826\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/73801\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/26128\nhttp://bugguide.net/node/view/13097\n\n\n\nhope this helps!

I work at a pet store and we sell tarantulas we feed them one cricket a day.make shure not to put to many cricket in with the spider because they can eat the spider.

THIS ANSWER IS CORRECT. I would bet my life on it.  Here's the story: \nThere is a creature that I am very familiar with that I have always known as a daddy longlegs; it has ONE body section and eight appendages.  It is creepy and has long skinny legs, but is NOT A SPIDER. And it does NOT spin webs. After a little research, I found that these are not the "official" daddy longlegs, and are "officially" nicknamed Harvestmen.  \nNow there is also the common house spider, which is ALSO known as daddy long legs (I've always called them house spiders).  These skinny legged spiders DO spin webs.  \nSo, to resolve who is wrong/right, check out the links below and decide which creature you are arguing about. Shazaam.\n\nOh, and Haysoos up there is just as correct as I am.  His is the only other answer that is completely correct.  So far.

If, on the other hand, you are hoping the spider will survive, I would suggest NOT doing it. Exotic species are a major cause of ecosystem damage and it is often hobbyists or individuals that are responsible for the introductions. I am sure it is also illegal. Governments are very ineffectual in dealing with this problem because it involves trade and lots of money, I hope that individual citizens can be more responsible.

Nope. They are willing to risk their child's life to have them an anchor baby. Often, a woman is abandoned in the desert if she gives birth before they get there, because she and the kid make too much noise and slow the rest down.  It's a shame for the kid.\nAll to often the kid don't survive.

It's called so because after the mating ritual, the female spider (about 3-5 times larger than the male) is hungry and tired, and so if the male is unlikely, he will end up being her dinner. So, the female spider ends up husband-less (widow).\n\nAbout the black - i'm not sure if it's just because she's black in color. I interpret black metaphorically, as in the practice of her eating the man she's just had sex with is quite 'cannibalistic' and therefore, 'black'/cruel in nature.\n\nI also saw on National Geographic that the male spiders know this (as in going to be eaten), but they go ahead and mate because it is also their nature to want to procreate (sow the seeds). So, they leave it up to fate (or their legs) as to whether they live to f**k another day, or die but achieved their objective to breed the next generation carrying his genes.\n\nWho was it said "life sucks", coz he is damn right on that! =P

a spider must feed on animal material, therefor it is a carnivor.  An omnivor will eat anything that it can.

Not all of them do. Many spiders don't have a web to hang in, because they have other types of webs ("platform" webs) or they live in the ground, etc. But the spiders who hang in a web don't all hang the same way. In fact, the way they hang in the web is often helpful for identification. Some hang head down, others head up. It depends on the species. Some also just hang out on the outskirts of the web and don't usually sit on the web itself. It just depends.
