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.

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! See similar questions...

There are several treatment methods available for spiders, the first of which is Inspection. A trained professional must determine the reason the spiders are there, "their food source" and type of spider and will pesticide treatment alone take care of the problem.

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. See similar questions...

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: See similar questions...

Bees live for 6 weeks when gathering nectar during the summer. Their wings gradually wear away from constant activity.

The queen bee can live for 3-4 years. See similar questions...
