Extractions: News Flash A New Insect Order Is Discovered There is much excitement in the entomological world at the momement as a new order of insects has just been discovered. To find out more visit the National Geographic news page. There are well over 1 million different known species of insects in the world, and some experts estimate that there might be as many as 10 million. They are divided up into 32 orders (depending on whose taxonomic system you use) of which the largest is the Beetles (Coleoptera) with 125 different families and around 500,000 species. In fact one in every four animal species on this planet is a beetle. Well everywhere on land anyway, very few insects have invaded the sea, though some like the Marine Flies (Halobates sp.) and the Seashore Collembolan Anurida maritma live on the surface and the larva of a small number of True Flies (Diptera) and Beetles (Coleoptera) live beneath the surface mostly in rockpools. On land though there isn't anyhere you can go that you can't find some insects living there, even in the frozen extremes of Arctica and Antartica you will some insects alive and active during the warmer months. You will find that insects are ubiquitous, they are in the soil beneath your feet, the air above your head, on and in the bodies of the plants and animals around you, as well as on and in you.

New Entomological Taxa Homepage
Monthly publication by Scientific Reference Resources designed to provide entomologists with information regarding new taxa of insects, arachnids, and myriapods, and nomenclature changes in these groups.
http://www.sciref.org/net/

Extractions: New Entomological Taxa Home page New Entomological Taxa (NET) is a monthly publication designed to provide entomologists with timely and inexpensive access to the literature on new entomological taxa and nomenclature changes. To accomplish this goal, NET catalogues the new taxa of insects, acari, arachnids and myriapods, in addition to parasites and pathogens associated with these groups of arthropods, which appear in the current literature. Nomenclature changes, such as new combinations, new synonyms and taxa of new or revised status are also included. We offer subscriptions to individual taxonomic sections of NET starting at $25US for Internet access to 12 monthly issues. The Introduction outlines the scope of coverage of NET, describes the rationale behind the format of the printed and Internet versions, and explains the indices which will help users to find information of interest in NET. The Master List of Journal and Serial Titles Searched page lists all of the journals and book series which are searched for articles reporting new taxa and nomenclature changes. SRR welcomes suggestions for serial titles which we are lacking. Published issues of New Entomological Taxa Volume 1, Issue 5 (June 1999)

More people in the United States die each year from bee stings, and resulting anaphylactic shock, than from snake bites. A few other insects are venomous enough to kill, but often the greatest danger is the transmission of disease. Scorpion Scorpionidae order Description: Dull brown, yellow, or black. Have 7.5- to 20-centimeter long lobsterlike pincers andjointed tail usually held over the back. There are 800 species of scorpions. Habitat: Decaying matter, under debris, logs, and rocks. Feeds at night. Sometimes hides in boots. Distribution: Worldwide in temperate, arid, and tropical regions.

Solifugae
Short article with four images from the Biodiversity Explorer.
http://www.museums.org.za/bio/arachnids/solifugae.htm

Extractions: biodiversity explorer (Phylum: Arthropoda , subphylum Chelicerata, class Arachnida) This group of arachnids has various common names most of which suggest that they are spiders, which they are not. The only similarity they share with spiders is the fact that they have eight legs. Solifugids have no venom glands and are not a threat to man although they are very aggressive and fast moving and can inflict a painful bite. Solifugid eating an insect. Solifugid (body length about 15-20 mm). Solifugid from De Hoop Nature Reserve (body length about 35 mm). Solifugid from Vrolikheid Nature Reserve. Animals of this colour probably originated the term 'red roman' (body length about 50 mm).. The name of the solifugids originates from the Latin for 'fleeing from the sun' although many species are nocturnal. The term 'sun spider' applies to those species active during the day that tend to avoid the heat and dash from shadow to shadow - often of a person - giving the alarming impression that they are giving chase. The term 'red roman' probably originates form the Afrikaans term 'rooiman' (red man) due to the red-brown colour of some species. The popular terms 'haarskeerders' and 'baardskeerders' (Afrikaans words for hair and beard cutters) originate from the strange behaviour of some of these animals where they cut hair from sleeping people or animals (dogs) at night. It appears that female solifugids find hair to be an ideal nest liner. Solifugids appear to have 10 legs but in fact, the first pair of appendages are the pedipalps that are very strong and are used for various functions such as drinking, fighting, feeding and mating. The first pair of legs are thin and short and used as tactile organs. The fourth pair of legs are the longest and strongest and carry white structures called racket organs - the purpose of which is not known.

Opiliones
Brief article on harvestmen from South Africa's Biodiversity Explorer.
http://www.museums.org.za/bio/arachnids/opiliones.htm

Extractions: biodiversity explorer (Phylum: Arthropoda , subphylum Chelicerata, class Arachnida) Opiliones are commonly called shepherd spiders, harvest spiders or harvestmen. 'Opilio' in Latin means shepherd and the name is probably derived from the fact that in earlier times, European shepherds sometimes walked on stilts to observe their flocks better and Opiliones look as if they are on stilts when walking. The term harvestmen or harvest spiders was a result of them being seen only during harvesting time. They are also referred to as daddy long legs but should not be confused with similarly named spiders, the Pholcidae . Opiliones are not spiders and have no spinning organs, fangs or venom glands and are harmless to man. Opiliones (body about 5 mm). Opiliones are not well known as they and rarely seen due to their cryptic lifestyle. They live in damp forest areas under leaf-litter where they feed on small insects and other invertebrates, snails, fungi and dead animal and vegetable matter. They are more numerous at sea level and numbers diminish with altitude. The head and thorax are not separated by narrow constriction as with spiders. They have round bulbous bodies and very long legs and generally small (bodies up to about 7 mm long). Their cryptic colouration affords protection from predators but should they be attacked, they are usually able to repel the attacker with a repugnant secretion from odiferous glands.

Extractions: (Click on picture to enlarge) The name tarantula comes from a real spider that is found in southern Italy, it lives mainly in an area around the town of Taranto. In fact the real tarantula ( The European Wolf Spider, Lycosa Tarantula ) is distantly related to the other spiders that share its name. The real tarantula is a small slightly hairy spider ( about 2 inches (5cm's) across ). It is not dangerous to humans!

Extractions: Criticism The Story of Anansi Anansi the Spider was a vain, mischievous creature, always swindling and hoodwinking others. Anansi was also rich, for he had tricked many creatures out of their homes and land. Chameleon wished with all his heart to take revenge on Anansi, for long ago Anansi had fooled him into giving up his farm, and Chameleon feared his family would soon starve. And so Chameleon thought and thought. At last he knew exactly what to do. Chameleon crawled to the edge of one of Anansi's huge field's and there began to dig. He dug and dug, and soon he had hollowed out a long tunnel. Next he covered the hole with a roof made of dirt, leaving only the tiniest of openings. Chameleon was a most industrious fellow, and though he was exhausted from his work, he did not stop there. He went to work collecting hundreds of thin little green vines. Now Chameleon and his sons together went to work collecting hundreds of buzzing flies. After they had gathered all the flies into pots, they picked them out and tied them, one by one, to the vines. "What are we doing, father?" Chameleon's oldest son asked as they worked.
