Spider

There are over 3000 species of spiders and they belong to the Arachnid family. Spiders are not insects, but are related to scorpions and other arachnids that have eight legs and no antennae. Most spider have poor eyesight and little sense of hearing and smell. They do, however, have a well developed sense of touch in the hairs and spines that cover their body. They may vary in size from about 1 mm to a giant 200 mm.

Spiders are known for their ability to spin silk. They are able to produce this from glands in the abdomen and the silk comes out through organs called spinnerets. The silk is strong and elastic and is used to trap the spider’s prey. Spiders use their webs in different ways. Some weave a net to throw over their prey, while others attach a sticky blob to the end of a silken thread and whirl it around in a circle to wrap around an insect.

Spiders suck the fluids from their victims rather than eat solid food. Then they crush the hard parts, mixing them with digestive juice to make them into a liquid as well.

Female spiders lay large numbers of tiny eggs and cover them in a silken sac. Some species carry this sac around with them. When first hatched, the young resembled adults and slowly develop to full size. Before mating, some spiders perform courtship dances. After mating, some male spiders are eaten by the female.

The Importance of Rainforests

Rainforests are one of the most complicated environments on Earth. They are recognized worldwide as containing the richest source of plants and animals and are believed to contain nearly three-quarters of all the varieties of life on Earth. This is remarkable because rainforests cover only about six per cent of the Earth’s land surface.
Rainforests are the oldest major ecosystem, having survived climate changes for more than one million years. They provide habitats for more species of plants, animals, insects and birds than any other environment found on our planet. Scientists estimate that between 60 and 90 per cent of all species of life are to be found in rain forests. Unfortunately, the widespread destruction of many of the world’s rainforests has caused a significant decline in the number of plant and animal species on Earth.

Rainforests influence both our local and global climates. For example, between 50 and 80 per cent of the moisture in the air above rainforests comes from the rainforest’s treees. If larege areas of these lush rainforests are cleared, he average rainfall in the area will drop. Eventually, the area’s climate will get hotter and drier. This process could convert rainforests into a sparse grassland or desert. Rainforests are als able to absorb over 90 per cent of the rainfall in their leaves and mosses. By doing this, they are able to slow down water run-off by gradually releasing the water over time into streams and rivers. This helps to control soil erosion and flooding.

Rainforests are vital to the Earth in helping to recyle carbon and oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas put into the air globally by humans, mainly by the burning of fossil fuels (for example in cars and factories). Rainforests are able to remove carbon dioxide from the air and return oxygen in its place. This is why our global rainforests are often called the Earth’s “lungs’. Rainforests are major producers of the Earth’s oxygen. In fact, scientsists believe that nearly 50 per cent of the Earth’s oxygen is produced by rainforests in the Amazon region alone.

Nearly 40 per cent of the world’s carbo is contained in the trees of the rainforests. As rainforests are cut down and burned, carbon dioxide is released into the Earth’s atmosphere. Eventually, as this gas builds up the atmosphere, leading to what scientists call the enhanced greenhouse effect. To sum up, the role of the rainforests is essential for human life. It creates equilibrium in our environment and its resources are significant for human beings survival.
