 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.
