Black Widow Spider

So every body has heard of the black widow spider right? Well if you haven't it is black spider with a red hour glass on its abdomen like this:

Did you know that a black widow is more poisonous than a rattle snake. Eeeeekkkk!!! My mom is absolutely terrified of them and she has good reason. Black widows are known to be cannibals. the female will eat her mate some times. Once in a while my mom and I will go black widow hunting in the evening and we will find them in the cracks and crevasses in the brick wall. Black widows are nocturnal so evening is there favorite time. My mom's favorite weapons for hunting is either a flip flop or a can of spider spray. Black widow also have enemies too, the primantis is one that dines upon it and so do birds. Birds don't often pray on them because, the spiders poison gives them a tummy ache. Did you know that black widow venom is ten times more potent than the prairie rattle snake. Gulp!!!

If your wondering what the black widows web looks like it is a strong thick silk. I don't know if any of you have fed a spider or touched a spider web but it's soft and fragile. A black widows web is made of thick silk that is very strong. Strong enough to catch a big grasshopper. That brings up a story...One time I was out in my back yard which is black widow haven, and movement caught my eye. I looked down and saw a big fat grasshopper in a black widows web. I told mom and she killed it without letting me see it eat. Oh well...

My mom was looking at black widow symptoms which are that you can't feel and then head aches then death. gruesome right? The Spider bite of these beings feels like a pinprick. A person if bitten, experiences nausea, muscle ache and paralysis of the diaphragm which makes breathing difficult. In rare cases, bites can be fatal especially to small children or elderly people.The black widow generally eats mosquitoes, flies, beetles, caterpillars and grasshoppers. I know that this is really off topic but did you know that the primantis is the natural predator of the humming bird? Anyway, back to black widows. They are shy but when provoked they can bight fast.

Black widows are known to be canibals creepie right?

I'm going to blog about gaming. I like gaming it is very fun. My favorite game is spore. Spore is a game were you create a creature and you start of as a cell like this.

Then you evolve into a creature then a tribe then a city and then SPACE!!!!!!!!!! In space you can go around and make friends or enemies. You can trade spice you gathered at your home planet or other planets with your kind on it. there is red,green,blue, and pink spice. Just watch out for the grox. The grox are these evil little creatures. The look like this.

It is almost imposable to befriend them. If you raise the terrascore of there planet it will instantly kill them putting you at war. The grox are realy hard to please and if you befreind them it is totaly not worth it. First of all if you befreind them the galexy will hate you and the grox will kill you any way. The grox wont like you for very long. On spore a started a trad route with my alies and they got mad at me because I took all there suplies. They ofered to sell their star systen to me so I need to save up money to buy it from then.

Has anybody goten the pet gagets? I know that lots of you have but they are so fun and time consuming. you know wats anouing? that so mny things are blocked on the computers. i mean that you some sweet picture or a cool web site and its blocked. do you know what I mean?

Thak you sofwof for commenting on my tea. I don't like a lot of shuger in my tea. The book I'm reading is The pearls of Lutra. By Brian Jacques. The book is about a otter who is out to slay the vermin (Monitors,sea rats, stoats, ferrets and foxes)who slew her kin. At redwall abby Tansy the hegehog maid is looking for six pink pearls that the Vermin stole from the otters kin. How did they wind up at redwall abby you ask? a vermin stole them from his master and took the to redwall to hide them. He died of head wound made by one of his fellow mates. Redwallers took pity  and took him in. he hid the pearls and ran away to die. Now Tansy must follow the clues to find the pears. Hear is another song from my book I am obsesed with.

Otter Barn Dance
Ho comb yore whiskers, brush that tail,
Place a flow'r behind yore ear,
Wash those paws in my ole pail,
We're off a dancin', dear! Oooooooh!
Paws up high, rudder on the deck,
Pace up to yore partner, check!
Rudder in the air, paws on the ground,
Whirl that otter round an' round!
Vittles onna table, drink's there too,
Hear the music playin',
Smile at me I'll dance with you,
Every otter's sayin'! Oooooooh!
Shuffle back an' clap both paws,
I'll clap mine an' you clap yours!
Turn away now back to back,
Slap those tail down whackwhackwhack!
