 Spider - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Spiders, unlike insects, have only two body segments instead of three; a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax or prosoma) and an abdomen (called the opisthosoma), supported by a hard exoskeleton composed of mainly of chitin.
Spiders often use elaborate mating rituals (especially in the visually advanced jumping spiders) to allow the male to approach close enough to inseminate the female without triggering a predatory response.
While venom from either spider can be deadly to children and the infirm, since the development of antidotes to the venoms of both were developed (the funnel web spider in the mid-1980's and the wandering spider in 1996), no humans have died from their bites.

 List of Star Wars ground vehicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dwarf spider droid in combat at the Battle of Geonosis.
The Dwarf spider droid is a ground vehicle manufactured by the Commerce Guild to support the cause of the Separatists.
This was because the lasers of the Homing Spider Droid were mounted on a body held high up in the air by the legs, so when it was positioned behind a line of it’s shorter cousins, Dwarf Spider Droids, it could fire without fear of hitting anything friendly.

 DSD1 dwarf spider droid - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The DSD1 dwarf spider droid, also known as the burrowing spider droid because it was first used to destroy opposition in narrow mine shafts, was a battle droid manufactured by the Commerce Guild to support the cause of the Separatists.
During the Clone Wars, dwarf spider droids were used on the frontline, in front of platoons of battle droids and other Separatist droids.
Several variants of the dwarf spider droid saw action during the wars, including an amphibous model equipped with a larger gun and two heavily armored variants, the heavy dwarf spider droid and the advanced dwarf spider droid.

 Dwarf sheet spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dwarf sheet spiders (family Hahniidae) are small spiders, their bodies are about 2 mm in length.
They build extremely delicate webs in the form of a sheet, and unlike many spiders the web does not lead to a retreat.
The silk used in these webs is so fine that they are difficult to spot unless they are coated with dew.

 Two Charms Against Dwarves
It must be pointed out that the concept of the spider wight as an entity which attacks the dwarf could easily tie into a mediaeval English treatment in which a spider contained in a small pouch was hung around the patient's neck.
An argument against identification of the spider wight with the dwarf is that it would appear to make the role of the "beast's sister" both nonsensical and superfluous.
The role of the dwarf's sister in this theory concerning the galdor would be one in keeping with women's traditional status as the peacemakers and diplomats in Germanic culture--she puts an end to the violence (in this case, the dwarf's attack) and swears that it shall never befall anyone again.

 SPACE.com -- White Dwarf Sends Ripples Through Red Spider Nebula
The exposed, hot core of the white dwarf wins the battle in this case, spewing a stellar wind blowing with a speed of 2,000-4,500 kilometers per second (about 7 to 16 million km/hr, or 4 to 10 million mph) and creating waves that tower as high as 100 billion kilometers (62 billion miles).
The fast wind from the white dwarf ran into the material thrown out by the star when it was still a red giant -- an expanding phase in a star's life before it becomes a white dwarf, Mellema says.
Symmetry in the two lobes of the Red Spider nebula comes from the gravitational pull of the white dwarf and a companion star, both of which are invisible in the Hubble image, Mellema said.

I never kill my Spider Plants when they grow old, as you are recommended in books, instead I just keep on caring for them and they keep on growing and getting bigger and bigger.
One sure way to make spider plants grow really big is to remove as many of the stolons (the long stems with flowers and baby plants on) as possible.
Spider plants want to have little room in the pot, and a small pot for a small plant is perfect.

Spider notes, "The military strategy used by Michael and his friends in this book is for real, the Commandant of the NYC Marine Corps detachment told me it would probably work...and there's no reason why it wouldn't work just as well today for real-world foreign terrorists as it did for my fictional revolutionaries.

 Dwarf Spider Orchid (Caladenia bryceana subsp. bryceana ms.) Interim Recovery Plan 1999-2002
The genus Caladenia (spider orchids, fairy orchids) is comprised of approximately 160 species, distributed widely over southern Australia and extending to New Zealand, New Caledonia and Java (Hoffman and Brown 1992).
The genus appears to be rapidly speciating in parts of Australia and this is illustrated in particular by the presence of many species complexes in the south-west of Western Australia.
Pollination studies of orchids show that intimate relationships exist between the flowers of some species of spider orchid and species of male thynnid wasp which attempt copulation with the labellum of the flower and in doing so remove or deposit pollinia (Stoutamire 1975).
