Download or read book The Life of the Spider written by J. Henri Fabre and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2017-09-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by the founding father of the science of modern entomology, this work remains one of the standard studies of the lifestyle, habits, mating ceremonies, and astonishing technical abilities of the spider family. Jean-Henri Fabre, famous for his detailed and painstaking methods of study which became the measure by which all present-day scientific fieldwork is conducted, produced a ten-volume study of insects and arachnids known as the Souvenirs Entomologiques. This book consists of essays from that larger work, and deals specifically with his extensive observation and experimentation with a variety of spiders, from tarantulas to house spiders. The author was the first to document many hitherto unknown aspects of his arachnid subjects, including their manner of breeding, caring for their young, hunting, and web-spinning. His enduring popularity is due to his marvelous teaching ability and his manner of writing about the lives of insects in biographical form, which he preferred to a clinically detached, journalistic mode of recording. A highly readable text, delightfully devoid of the complicated language which so often blights natural science books, and simultaneously personal, with accounts of his children participating in some of his experiments. This is a superb overview of spiders which is guaranteed to hold the reader's interest. By the last page, the reader will never be able to look at spiders in the same light again. About the author: Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre (1823-1915) was a French entomologist and author. An autodidact trained as a teacher, physicist, chemist and botanist, he is best known for his ground-breaking studies of insects. His works represent fifty years of observation, study and experiment.

Book excerpt: The Spider has a bad name: to most of us, she represents an odious, noxious animal, which every one hastens to crush under foot. Against this summary verdict theobserver sets the beast's industry, its talent as a weaver, its wiliness in the chase, itstragic nuptials and other characteristics of great interest. Yes, the Spider is well worthstudying, apart from any scientific reasons; but she is said to be poisonous and that isher crime and the primary cause of the repugnance wherewith she inspiresus. Poisonous, I agree, if by that we understand that the animal is armed with two fangswhich cause the immediate death of the little victims which it catches; but there is awide difference between killing a Midge and harming a man. However immediate in itseffects upon the insect entangled in the fatal web, the Spider's poison is not serious forus and causes less inconvenience than a Gnat-bite. That, at least, is what we cansafely say as regards the great majority of the Spiders of our regions.Nevertheless, a few are to be feared; and foremost among these is the Malmignatte, theterror of the Corsican peasantry. I have seen her settle in the furrows, lay out her weband rush boldly at insects larger than herself; I have admired her garb of black velvetspeckled with carmine-red; above all, I have heard most disquieting stories told abouther. Around Ajaccio and Bonifacio, her bite is reputed very dangerous, sometimesmortal. The countryman declares this for a fact and the doctor does not always daredeny it. In the neighbourhood of Pujaud, not far from Avignon, the harvesters speakwith dread of Theridion lugubre, first observed by Léon Dufour in the Catalonianmountains; according to them, her bite would lead to serious accidents. The Italianshave bestowed a bad reputation on the Tarantula, who produces convulsions andfrenzied dances in the person stung by her. To cope with 'tarantism, ' the name given tothe disease that follows on the bite of the Italian Spider, you must have recourse tomusic, the only efficacious remedy, so they tell us. Special tunes have been noted, those quickest to afford relief. There is medical choreography, medical music. Andhave we not the tarentella, a lively and nimble dance, bequeathed to us perhaps by thehealing art of the Calabrian peasant?Must we take these queer things seriously or laugh at them? From the little that I haveseen, I hesitate to pronounce an opinion. Nothing tells us that the bite of the Tarantulamay not provoke, in weak and very impressionable people, a nervous disorder whichmusic will relieve; nothing tells us that a profuse perspiration, resulting from a veryenergetic dance, is not likely to diminish the discomfort by diminishing the cause of theailment. So far from laughing, I reflect and enquire, when the Calabrian peasant talks tome of his Tarantula, the Pujaud reaper of his Theridion lugubre, the Corsicanhusbandman of his Malmignatte. Those Spiders might easily deserve, at least partly, their terrible reputation.

Download or read book Dr Eleanor s Book of Common Spiders written by Christopher M. Buddle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiders have a problem, and it’s us. Despite their magnificent talents for crafting webs, capturing mosquitoes, and camouflage, for millennia arachnophobia has hampered our ability to appreciate these eight-legged and -eyed marvels. No longer! In this witty, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Christopher M. Buddle and Eleanor Spicer Rice metamorphose creepy-crawly revulsion into spider wonder. Emerging from ambitious citizen science project Your Wild Life (an initiative based at North Carolina State University), Dr. Eleanor's Book of Common Spiders provides an eye-opening arachnological overview of the natural history of species most noted by project participants, showcasing some of the fascinating spiders found in our attics and tents, front lawns and forests—and even introducing us to spiders that fish. Exploring species from the tiny (but gymnastic) zebra jumping spider to the naturally shy and woefully misunderstood black widow, this guide will be a tremendous resource for teachers, students, and scientists alike. But more than this, it will transform the way we perceive the environment around us by deepening our understanding of its littlest inhabitants, inspiring all of us to find our inner naturalist, get outside, and crawl across the dirt—magnifying glass in hand.
