Wie jedes Jahr habe ich an der Demonstration anlässlich des Equal Pay Days teilgenommen. Frauen verdienen im Durchschnitt 22 Prozent weniger als Männer bei gleicher und gleichwertiger Arbeit. Das muss sich ändern!

Gotta give Daisy her time in the spotlight too, you know. 😘

Sadly an injured animal, being in a national park is not equal to being safe of poachers. I think this was a white rhino.

Eratigena atrica and possibly male considering how leggy it is :)

any ID on this lovely long legged lady?

The giant house spider, now with the scientific name Eratigena atrica, is one of the biggest spiders of Central and Northern Europe. It was previously placed in the genus Tegenaria, where in addition to Tegenaria atrica, it was also documented as Tegenaria duellica, Tegenaria gigantea and Tegenaria saeva, among others, all thought to be different species. It is now a member of the newly described genus Eratigena.[2] The bite of this species does not pose a threat to humans or pets, and it is generally reluctant to bite, preferring to escape.

The two sexes do not differ in coloration or markings. Its coloration is mainly dark brown. On its sternum is a lighter marking, with three light spots on each side. The opisthosoma features a lighter middle line with six "spots" on each side. The giant house spider has the same coloration as the domestic house spider, Tegenaria domestica; it has earthy tones of brown and muddy red or yellow. They also have conspicuously hairy legs, palps and abdomen. The female body size can reach 18.5 millimetres (0.73 in) in length (despite its English name, the species is smaller than Tegenaria parietina), with males having a slightly smaller body at around 12 to 15 millimetres (0.47 to 0.59 in) in length. The female leg span is typically around 45 millimetres (1.8 in). The leg span of the male is highly variable, with spans between 25 to 75 millimetres (0.98 to 2.95 in) being common.

 

Its eight eyes are of equal size and are arranged in two rows. As the eyes contain fewer than 400 visual cells, E. atrica can probably only distinguish light and dark.

 

Taxonomy[edit]

The first description of a spider now assigned to this species was by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1843, under the name Tegenaria atrica. Other supposedly different species were described later, including Tegenaria saeva by John Blackwall in 1844, Tegenaria duellica by Eugène Simon in 1875 and Tegenaria gigantea by Ralph Vary Chamberlin and Wilton Ivie in 1935. T. gigantea was synonymized with T. duellica in 1978. The three remaining taxa have been regarded as distinct species, particularly in Britain.[2] Thus Roberts (1995) provides distinguishing characters for T. atrica, T. duellica and T. saeva,[3] as does Oxford (2008) for T. duellica (as T. gigantea) and T. saeva.[4] Others consider these three as part of a single morphologically variable species, for which the oldest name, and hence the senior synonym, is T. atrica.[2]

 

A phylogenetic study in 2013 concluded that Tegenaria, as then defined, was not monophyletic, and split off some species, including T. atrica, into the newly created segregate genus Eratigena.[2]

 

Distribution and habitat[edit]

E. atrica is found in Europe, Central Asia and Northern Africa. It was unwittingly introduced to the Pacific Northwest of North America circa 1900 due to human activity and has strongly increased in numbers for the last century.[citation needed]

 

In the last few years the spider has been found in several European countries in which it was previously not recorded, like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It is recorded in the checklist of Danish spider species.[5]

 

The giant house spider's original habitat consists mostly of caves, or dry forests where it is found under rocks, but it is a common spider in people's homes.[citation needed]

 

Biology and behavior[edit]

 

Spiderlings

The webs built by the giant house spider are flat and messy with a funnel at one end. They do not contain sticky threads. The spider lurks in the funnel until a small invertebrate happens to get trapped in the web, at which point the spider runs out and attacks it. They usually build their webs in corners (on both the floor and ceiling), between boxes in basements, behind cupboards, in attics, or any other area that is rarely disturbed by large animals, or humans. Often found near window openings.[citation needed]

 

E. atrica normally lives for two or three years, but lifetimes of up to six years have been observed. While the female only leaves its nest to feed, males can often be seen wandering around houses during the late summer and early autumn looking for a mate. Males can be found from July to October, adult females occur all year.[citation needed]

 

At least 60 spiderlings emerge from an egg sac. Unusual for spiders, they are subsocial at this stage: they remain together for about a month, but do not cooperate in prey capture. The amount of cannibalism correlates with the amount of available food. E. atrica molts seven or eight times before reaching the immature adult state, and after a final molt reaches maturity.[6]

 

Like most spiders, the spider possesses venom to subdue its prey. Since E. atrica bites can penetrate human skin on occasion, the effects of agatoxin might be felt by bite victims, though these spiders will not bite unless provoked.[citation needed]

 

With speeds clocked at 1.73 ft/s (0.53 m/s) (1.18 mph), the giant house spider held the Guinness Book of World Records for top spider speed until 1987 when it was displaced by sun spiders (solifugids) although the latter are not true spiders as they belong to a different order.[7]

 

Relationship with Eratigena agrestis[edit]

 

E. atrica can attain a leg span of up to 4 inches (100 mm). This specimen is approximately 3 inches (76 mm).

A population of giant house spiders is popularly thought to be a deterrent to the establishment of Eratigena agrestis, known in North America as the "hobo spider", and considered by some to be more likely to bite humans. Giant house spiders may compete with hobo spiders for the same resources. Hobo spiders grow no more than a body size of 15 millimetres (0.59 in) long whereas the larger female giant house spider can have a body size of 18 millimetres (0.71 in),[8] but has proportionately much longer legs.[9]

June 17, 2009: the third day of public testimony at the Anchorage Assembly on AO 2009-64, which would provide equal protection from discrimination in Anchorage on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

 

Youth from the Mississippi Avenue Baptist Church (MABC) of Aurora, Colorado visited Anchorage from June 14–22, 2009 for their Youth Mission 2009. On two of the days of their visit, June 16 and 17, the Anchorage Assembly was hearing public testimony on the Anchorage equal rights ordinance. So what did the adult leadership from their church have these kids from another state do during their youth mission? - Wave signs urging permitting continued discrimination against citizens of a different city in another state than they even live in.

 

The MABC youth mission was was hosted by the Anchorage Baptist Temple, whose pastor, Jerry Prevo, is a principal leader in opposition to the Anchorage equal rights ordinance. They were bused to the Loussac Library by ABT, and the signs they carried were printed by Alaska Family Council.

Raymond is the Felix Unger of the kid world...he could not use his camera to take pictures because "this place is too messy!" (the ankle deep gift wrap was very disturbing to him and he did clean it all up!) The Cars underwear was ok with him...showing his practical side!

UK Lockdown 2020

A large group of well over 100 protesters gathered to voice their concern over what they perceived as police brutality and to listen to activists and local citizens speak about the pressing issues of the day. Some passing vehicles at the busy intersection, known as Joliet's "Six Corners", honked their horns and gestured signs of support and solidarity to the participants.

Equal rights took the Empire by storm. Some troopers couldn't get used to it.
