Though the generic name of the funnel web spider is used most of the time, it includes no less than thirty-six species that live both on land and in trees. The favorite habitat of the funnel web spider consists of the moist area under rocks, crevices, rotten trees, holes and tree bark. For the funnel web spider varieties that live in gardens, shrubs are the perfect place to make their nests. Spider Identification Spider identification is no easy thing to do particularly if you lack experience and the scientific information that allow one to perform a correct classification. The most common way to perform the identification at a very amateurish level is to actually compare a specimen with a picture or a drawing and see whether there is a match. The camel spider is even falsely called a spider, since the species is cataloged under a different name in the zoological categories. More likel scorpions, the camel spider is part of an arachnid order known as the solifugae; they live in arid hot climates, including deserts from both the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. Black Widow Spider The black widow spider is probably the most famous and feared spider species in the world, and all the scary picture comes from the habit of the female spider to devour the male after mating. It is this specificity that is actually responsible for the name of the species as such, but there are plenty of other features that make the black widow spider stand out. Statistics show that 80% of the brown recluse spider bites are misdiagnosed. A test has been created to identify the wound and the venom type, but the practice is not part of the medical routine yet. Lots of doctors recommend a minor surgical intervention in the tissue area affected by the venom, yet the excision could impair the recovery as such and may increase the risk of scarring. They need to accumulate some fat in order to be able to resist without food during the period when they have to guard the eggs. The easy way to distinguish between males and females is not just body size, but also the length of the articulated feet. One other peculiarity of the camel spiders consists in the presence of several pairs of eyes grouped on various body parts.
