http://www.sciencenet.org.uk/database/Biology/Original/b00054d.html says that the life span of spiders can vary from a few months to 20 years.

Spiders are actually beneficial and may be left alone to help control pest insects in and around your home. Not all spiders have venom. However, two spiders of concern are - the black widow and brown recluse. These spiders can cause you to become ill if bitten. Brown recluse spiders are very rare in the mid-Atlantic region.

They can be found anywhere in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,and Southern British Columbia. We feel that it is likely that there are Hobos in Northern California. We have also received spider samples from the many parts of Mid-West and North Eastern USA which appear to be Hobo spiders. The Red areas of the maps show regions with Hobo Spiders.

Well I guess that depends on who you talk to--Most farmers who are in the egg producing business will say 2 years. Those who are in the meat producing business will say 6 months--Those who keep birds as pets (with names) or who are not interested in maximum production of eggs, will find that chickens can live up to 8 or 10 years.

No. The bite of a Daddy Long-legs (Pholcus phalangioides) is relatively harmless. It may produce an itchy, red lump if anything. But other spiders need to be careful: Daddy Long-Legs eat them! Most spiders are not dangerous to humans because either their fangs are too small to pierce human skin or their venom does not affect us!

The Spiders From Mars were David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust's three-piece rock band from 1971 to mid 1973, however they were only officially known by this name following the album's release in June 1972. Bowie has said that the inspiration for the name came when he was writing the song "Ziggy Stardust". The band consisted of: quot;It was Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and somehow, along the lines, the Spiders got attached to David Bowie.

Spiders can only be seen during 'Behind the Scenes Tours'. Our spiders include dangerous species, such as, Redbacks, Funnel-webs and Huntsman spiders. numbers are limited, 'Behind the Scenes Tours' must be booked and paid for at turnstiles prior to the tour beginning. The cost is $7.50 for adults and $5.00 for chidren. They operate at 11.00am and 1.30pm each day and depart from the large wooden gates just before the Devils Diner.

You'd think that would be a simple question, with a simple answer. Unfortunately, every source I've found gives different information: Britanica Online says the lifespan of a domestic cat in captivity is 21 years (in context, this seems to be the maximum age of the vast majority of otherwise healthy cats!!!). The Tidycat website once indicated that the average Russian Blue lives 18 years (I couldn't find a reference to persian lifespan). On the HomeArts Ask the Vet website, Dr.

Mono Lake Brine Shrimp have two to three generations every year, and they live for up to 6 months. They all die off by the end of the year as the water cools. Cysts hatch the following April and the cycle repeats. Click here for more on Mono Lake Brine Shrimp. top

Head lice live about a month after hatching. It takes about a week for an egg to mature and hatch. The nymph louse grows to maturity in about a week to ten days. This leaves about three weeks of active life in the hair.

The average life span of most giant breeds is about 8-10 years. I know of Danes living to 10-12 years, but right now unfortunately that is the exception rather than the rule. There are a few health problems which afflict the Great Dane breed: growth problems (HOD, PANO and OCD), hip dysplasia (OFA and Penn-Hip tests), and bloat/GDV/torsion are primary concerns. Wobblers, thyroid problems, and problems with the eyes (CERF test) also appear in the breed. Se our HEALTH links for more info:

This varies with the mosquito species and the time of the year. Some species may only live for less than a week, while others can live for several months over the winter months. (BACK)

As long as they wish. Millions of years if they want to. And their physical bodies are forever young, because they can regenerate any cell in their bodies at will.

Most people with lupus can live a normal life span if they are properly treated, follow their doctor's advice, and lead a healthy lifestyle.
