| All spiders are members of the arachnid order Araneae, which is divided into two suborders. |
|
| The 400-million-year-old fossil organ belongs to a harvestman or daddy longlegs, a non-web-spinning arachnid, related to mites and ticks. |
|
| It is dark brown, with short hair bristling off eight legs that support its arachnid body. |
|
| Other containers house giant cockroaches and itty-bitty arachnid hatchlings, a few months old and smaller than a pinky nail. |
|
| Both these species have a predilection for arachnid flesh but are otherwise quite different. |
|
| Does the arachnid feel a difference in the air between a bad ozone day and a good one? |
|
| The enzymes and toxins in scorpion venom are used by the arachnid to paralyse its prey and digest its food. |
|
| But somewhat surprisingly, this terrestrial arachnid doesn't mind swimming, either. |
|
| Without the bone chilling, sustained freezing temperatures of years gone by the arachnid population thrives. |
|
| While some may find it edgy and aggressive, others will find its appearance curiously akin to an arachnid. |
|
| But whereas chelicerae grow out of the middle part of arachnid heads, sea spider grabbers seem to sprout from the front. |
|
| Some arachnid chelicerates are parasites, such as ticks and mites. |
|
| In general, scorpions have the largest number of primitive arachnid features, and spiders and mites are the most highly evolved. |
|
| While arachnid fossils are abundant, it is extremely difficult to trace the evolution of individual groups. |
|
| A major characteristic of arachnid evolution is that segments were fused or lost. |
|
| He said he was struck by the boom in genetic engineering techniques, mentioning that the Brazilians had inserted arachnid genes in cotton seeds, notably to create stronger, more flexible material. |
|
| After developing a rash, Kim Boxwell, 24, used the internet to identify the arachnid as a potentially fatal Brazilian Wandering Spider. |
|
| This was found in a piece of Baltic amber where five springtails were hooked in a row on the leg of a harvestman arachnid. |
|
| That way the pups can practice catching the arachnid without the danger of being stung. |
|
| The arachnid highlighted Betfred's generosity last week allowing punters a crack at PS200,000 pools with a five runner race to start with. |
|
|
|
| The largest part of the book focuses on 22 medically important arthropods, mostly belonging to the insect and arachnid classes. |
|
| Hence the latest, a new species of blind cave arachnid or harvestman from south-eastern Brazil has sent scientists to their much thumbed copies of the Lord of the Rings. |
|
| However, as more information becomes available at the molecular level, traits such as these could play a more important role in arachnid classification. |
|
| They belong to the arachnid family, which includes spiders and ticks. |
|
| Their resemblance to tiny spiders links them to the arachnid class. |
|
| Hymenopteran parasitoids were the most abundant, in total 927 were collected, followed by neuropteran predators and arachnid predators. |
|
| The research involved a three-generation study of the pseudoscorpion, Cordylochernes scorpioides, a small scorpion-like arachnid. |
|
| At the hospital, the sickening pictures of the patient's ear canal revealed a stocky, hairy, four-eyed arachnid peering out at the camera. |
|
| Dave Edwards, the authority's area chargehand, scooped up the arachnid into a black bag before calling wildlife expert Dr Rhys Jones, from Cardiff University, for advice. |
|
| Since it was founded, Arachnid has won more than 160 local and international awards for its creativity, strategy and marketing effectiveness. |
