Arachnids include the spiders, scorpions and their relatives such as pseudoscorpions, camel spiders, whipscorpions, mites and ticks, and daddy longlegs.\n\nThis is a highly diverse group, that ranges in size from tiny pseudoscorpions that are nearly microscopic up to the gigantic goliath bird-eating spider of South America that can ten inches across.  They live in almost every habitat on Earth, including Antarctica, the Sahara desert and everywhere in between.\n\nEach species has its own ecological niche, with its own predators and prey.  So there isn't any single 'main predator' on arachnids.  Each species would have its own position on the food chain.

They know which strands are the sticky ones and which aren't.  I think it's impossible for a spider to stick in its own web.\n\nhttp://arachnophiliac.co.uk/burrow/whydoesnt.htm

Yes, but it is so slow we won't register it. We only live a second, compared to the lifespan of the earth and it's evolving creatures. \nAs far as the spiders and other creatures are concerned, this is more of a fact of 'finding' and discovering new creatures, not necessarily that they just evolved.

The most poisonous spider by far in the US is the black widow. This is the only US spider with even a remote chance of killing a human. And yes, it's found in Texas.\n\nThe most poisonous spiders in the world are the Australian funnelweb spiders. There are several species, and usually the Sydney funnelweb is listed as the  most poisonous thoughthatmay be simplybecause it lives near the most people so more people have an opportunity to be bitten.

There are black widow spiders in Wisconsin, and most likely there are also brown recluse spiders.\n\nBlack widows are black with a red hourglass on the underside of their shiny bodies. The Brown Recluse is another spider that is poisonous that you must be on the lookout for. It has long, skinny legs and is about one-half inch long overall. Its entire body is brown, except for a dark, violin shaped mark on its head.\n\nI believe these are the only two species of poisonous spiders in North America.

I was going to say pseudo-scorpion, a very common arachnid related to scorpions and spiders, but with no tail stinger, but then I saw the size in your details.\n\nThe only critter I can think of in North America that could possibly be that large is one of the types of crayfish.\n\nHere is a site with some pretty good crayfish pictures: http://www.shrimpcrabsandcrayfish.co.uk/Shrimp.htm?crayfishamerica.html~mainFrame\n\nIf you were in more tropical climes, I would guess that it might be some form of crab, such as a land crab or robber crab.

I came across this site when I was looking for insect and spider links.  This guy seemed really involved with Tarantulas.\n\nI am glad that you are concerned about giving your pet a good home.

if the longest snake is what you mean then that may be the anaconda (larger than the boa constricter)and i think it may be found in the jungles of borneo or some south american country and the females are larger than the males

Doesn't sound familiar, but here's a link to an article about North America's "medically significant" spiders. take a look at the photos. If it's not on here, chances are you don't have to worry about it.\n\nhttp://www.royalalbertamuseum.ca/natural/insects/research/dangspid.htm
