Eriophora Virgata
''Eriophora'' is a genus of Araneidae, orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugène Simon in 1895. These spiders are found in tropical climates in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The name is derived from Ancient Greek roots and means "wool bearing". Description As is common in orb-weaving spiders, species in the ''Eriophora'' genus feature a third claw used to weave their webs. While most tend to spin a balanced and symmetrical web of small to medium size, ''E. fuliginea'' has been seen to craft a large, asymmetrical web that may be 1.6 - 3m in diameter with an open "hub" in the top third of the web. Females are typically larger than males, and have a very long epigyne, epigyne scape. Males in the genus generally have an enlarged tibia of the second leg. These spiders feature a variety of colors and patterns, the most notable being the bright green abdomens that are sometimes present in ''E. nephiloides'' and, less frequently, ''E. ravilla''. The abdominal dorsum may may have ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eriophora Nephiloides
''Eriophora nephiloides'' is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae first described in ''Biologia Centrali-Americana: Arachnida-Aranediea'' by Octavius Pickard-Cambridge in 1889. Its recognized range is from Guatemala to Guyana, Guayana, but has been documented as far south as Bolivia. Description ''Eriophora nephiloides'' is distinguished by a diamond-shaped abdomen with the rear subtriangle being elongated and pointed and the fore subtriangle being shorter and rounded. Its abdominal dorsum ranges in color from a reddish-brown to a distinctive bright green or yellow, and may have white spots scattered across/throughout or stripes around the edge. Its underside has a jet-black square or rectangle, which is bounded in either white or yellow. The cephalothorax and upper legs are dark yellow-brown, and the lower segments of the legs feature black and white banding.

Australian Garden Orb Weaver Spider
The Australian garden orb weaver spider (''Hortophora transmarina'') is a very common species of spider with many variants in size, shape, and colour across the coastal and northern regions of Australia. They have very large abdomens when well-fed and exhibit a tremendous colour-range from off-white through tan, brown to almost black. They have a roughly leaf-shaped pattern on the top of their abdomen with a complex outline that is darker than the surrounding area. There may also be several whitish spots or one or more stripes. The spiders' cephalothoraxes (heads) and proximal (closer to the body) leg segments are usually darker, mostly reddish or reddish brown. They are able to change their colour with each moult to better match the background upon which they rest during the day. The spiders are notable for the often large and intricate webs which they weave at night. They are usually nocturnal feeders, resting head down in their webs waiting to catch flying insects. They make th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Araneidae Genera
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family (biology), family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped spider web, webs often found in gardens, fields, and forests. The English word "orb" can mean "circular", hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulation, stridulating organs. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, including many well-known large or brightly colored garden spiders. With 3,108 species in 186 genus, genera worldwide, the Araneidae comprise one of the largest family of spiders (with the Salticidae and Linyphiidae). Araneid webs are constructed in a stereotypical fashion, where a framework of nonsticky spider silk, silk is built up before the spider adds a final spiral of silk covered in sticky droplets. Spider web#Orb web construction, Orb webs are also produced by members of other spider families. The long-jawed orb weavers (Tetragnathidae) were formerl ...

Institute Of Food And Agricultural Sciences
An institute is an organizational body created for a certain purpose. They are often research organisations (research institutes) created to do research on specific topics, or can also be a professional body. In some countries, institutes can be part of a university or other institutions of higher education, either as a group of departments or an autonomous educational institution without a traditional university status such as a "university institute", or institute of technology. In some countries, such as South Korea and India, private schools are sometimes referred to as institutes; also, in Spain, secondary schools are referred to as institutes. Historically, in some countries, institutes were educational units imparting vocational training and often incorporating libraries, also known as mechanics' institutes. The word "institute" comes from the Latin word ''institutum'' ("facility" or "habit"), in turn derived from ''instituere'' ("build", "create", "raise" or "edu ...

University Of Florida
The University of Florida (Florida or UF) is a public university, public land-grant university, land-grant research university in Gainesville, Florida, United States. It is a senior member of the State University System of Florida and a preeminent university in the state. The university traces its origins to 1853 and has operated continuously on its Gainesville campus since September 1906.

Araneus
''Araneus'' is a genus of common orb-weaving spiders. It includes about 650 species, among which are the European garden spider and the barn spider. The genus was erected by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1757. Description Spiders of this genus present perhaps the most obvious case of sexual dimorphism among all of the orb-weaver family, with males being normally to the size of females. In ''A. diadematus'', for example, last-molt females can reach the body size up to 1 in (2.5 cm), while most males seldom grow over 0.3 in (1 cm), both excluding leg span. Males are differentiated from females by a much smaller and more elongated abdomen, longer legs, and the inability to catch or consume prey bigger than themselves. In females, the epigyne has a long scape (a tongue-like appendage). Male pedipalps have a hook-like terminal Tubercle (anatomy), apophysis. Abdominal tubercle (anatomy), tubercles are present anterolaterally. Taxonomic history ''Araneus'' was, for m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster
On Saturday, February 1, 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia, Space Shuttle ''Columbia'' disintegrated as it Atmospheric entry, re-entered the atmosphere over Texas and Louisiana, killing all seven astronauts on board. It was the second List of Space Shuttle missions, Space Shuttle mission to end in disaster, after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, loss of ''Challenger'' and crew in 1986. The mission, designated STS-107, was the twenty-eighth flight for the orbiter, the 113th flight of the Space Shuttle fleet and the 88th after the ''Challenger'' disaster. It was dedicated to research in various fields, mainly on board the SpaceHab module inside the shuttle's payload bay. During launch, a piece of the Polyurethane foam, insulating foam broke off from the Space Shuttle external tank and struck the Space Shuttle thermal protection system, thermal protection system tiles on the Space Shuttle orbiter, orbiter's left wing. Similar foam shedding had occurred during previous Space Shu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
