In class we read a story about the Trogloraptor spider. The Trogloraptor spider looks kind of like the Brown Recluse. Trogloraptor is about twice as large as the Brown Recluse.
A Brown Recluse is a very venomous spider. If you get bit by a Brown Recluse, and you don’t get it treated you can lose a limb or die. A Brown Recluse is native to the United States. The brown recluse spider can be found mainly in the central Midwestern.
What makes this spider so special is that at the end of it’s legs it have little claws to catch food. The first place this spider has been seen was in Oregon's caves.
The specialists don’t know what this spider eats or its attack behavior.
When people see this spider they will be scared because of it’s size or the claws at the end of it’s legs. But this spider is not venomous to humans.
This is a nice, succinct summary, but it is a little *too* succinct, as it is about half as long as it should be. I like how you compared it to the brown recluse, but what other connections could you make?
ReplyDeleteIt was hard for me to find things to talk about when their is little known about this spider. The writer of that passage and others compared the spider to only the brown recluse.
