Turquoise -arabic Name



subphylum:
Myriapoda Class: Diplopoda
Order: Julida
Family: Julidae
Gender: Ommatoiulus
Species: Ommatoiulus rutilans

One September afternoon I was lying on a towel with some friends eating lunch under a carob tree. In the quiet of the woods with the sound of birds chirping and laughter of each other, a cry of a friend and her subsequent leap struck us all and we found this little arthropod on one of the towels. We had intruded in its territory and decided to explore what was happening.
all had a certain distance to it, it was the first time I saw and associate it to his cousin, the centipede, which its bite is very painful and poisonous. But the shy millipede is not poisonous, feeding on decaying leaves and the occasional exception feeds on other insects. Later we realized it was all full of these millipedes.

They are usually beige, coffee brown, brownish ... but in the tropics there are brightly colored warning that they taste desgradable. Despite its name, do not reach a thousand feet, no more than 750 and most have less than 200.
measure approximately between 3 and 9 cm although there are tropical species that are 30 cm and have come to see pictures of them as pets.


To defend some secreted by glands located on the side of a chemical odor, also can curl, like a suckling pig from moisture, including some species can be confusing enrroscarse with it.
I played with a stick to millipedes and curled as you can see in the picture, that if unharmed.
When they finished eating, we go ahead leaving these nice quiet arthropods.

lynx spider wolf spider engines

Class: Arachnida
Order:
Araneae Family: Lycosidae
Gender:
Lycosa Species: Lycosa Tarantula

This Lycosa spider genus, is called "wolf spider" and comes from the Greek "lykos" which means wolf. It is one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula and even Europe, females with a size of approximately 27 mm and males somewhat smaller with 19 mm. They are nocturnal and tend to live in underground nests where the females spend most of his life, and males use it as protection, but are often seen out and running.

have a high tendency to flee from humans, so it is somewhat difficult to catch them and is therefore rarely bite it. A method you can use the photographer if you have a long time, sitting next to a nest and expect to come out, hopefully you can get a good picture.
spider photo I found walking through dry leaves, and when I saw took refuge under a rock, but could not pass up the opportunity and picked up the rock to photograph.

This spider despite their traditional belief, has no toxicity high for humans. It ranks among the most dangerous of the peninsula, but their bite produces a clinical picture similar to a bee or wasp and needs no special medical treatment, unless allergic reaction to venom.

There is a legend that explains the origin of the name "tarantula." Is related to the Italian city of Taranto, a place where there emerged a dance called "Tarantella," where in the Middle Ages it was believed that the bite of the tarantula took to the death to those who suffered at least to dance this dance that binge could get rid of the effects of such "dangerous" poison.
