hey,
as i just read you're interested in sparassidae, do you have any idea what species the one from wagga wagga here (or possibly the others) could be? :) -- Sarefo ( talk) 10:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, You wrote this:
That image does not show any part of either pair of book lungs.(And also, let me urge you not to dispose any more trapdoor spiders from their homes. As someone that has worked with them, around them, and for their conservation seeing someone dig up such a sensitive species is quite disheartening.[not to mention that the spider, unless you collected it, probably died due to the way they do not dig new burrows...that is if the ruptured abdomen you caused did not kill anyway.]) In the future, please utilize the numerous images already available online instead of digging something up.

First let me thank you for your response.
I didn't collect that spider. I came along when somebody was and I took this picture. It was his intention to keep it I believe.
I read on the internet that trapdoor spiders might be becoming endangered because of habitat loss. How do people know that? There's still a lot of undeveloped habitat in Southern California. Is somebody out doing surveys and they can't find as many as they expect?
I thought the two clearly visible (after expanding it) depressions on the abdomen were associated with the book lungs. They seemed to be in about the right place based on the information from this image: http://giantspiders.com/anatomy.html
If they aren't associated with the book lungs do you know what they are?
I also had read that only the young can dig the holes. I wasn't quite sure I had quite understood that, but it sounds like I did based on what you said. Will the adult even make an attempt to dig a new burrow after it's been pulled out?
Anyway thanks again for your response and I appreciate your concerns about the trapdoor spiders.

The article Robert Daley (filmmaker) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thanks for your note. If you've got references, the anti-alarmist figures you've presented would make a great addition. I've been browsing around, adding to the article every tidbit of information I can scrape up from a scholarly source, and haven't found any yet that express this less-elevated danger, only that there are confirmed cases of infections.
Interestingly, however, I was browsing the Arachnoboards and found LOTS of closeup shots of folks handling these spiders with bare hands-- something I've never seen done with L. reclusa. Bob the WikipediaN ( talk • contribs) 04:06, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
I finally found a bit of info for you to parse into article form, if you really would like to.
There are four categories of Loxosceles bites:
- Unremarkable (very little damage, self-healing)
- Mild reaction (redness, itching, slight lesion but typically self-healing)
- Dermonecrotic (necrotic skin lesion considered by many the typical reaction)
- Systemic or viscerocutaneous (affect vascular system, very rare, potentially fatal)
One point that should be kept in mind is that most Loxosceles bites do not result in serious skin lesions, are typically self-healing without medical intervention and do not result in scarring; regular supportive care is typically sufficient with excellent outcome (Wright et al. 1997; Anderson 1998; Cacy & Mold 1999). Of patients developing necrotic lesions, about two-thirds heal without complications (Pauli et al. 2006). The more extreme manifestations of venom injury generate concern and publication of medical reports and, hence, skew the perception of the severity of the average loxoscelism event. Nonetheless, in the most severe manifestations, loxoscelism lesions can grow to 40 cm in size, healingcan take several months and leave a disfiguring scar. Cutaneous loxoscelism damage is greater in obese victims (e.g., Masters 1998) because the venom enzymes readily destroy poorly vascularized adipose tissue. There can be gravitational spread of the lesion. Rare systemic manifestations can be serious and potentially life threatening (especially in children). Typically, Loxosceles spiders bite for defensive purposes and the resulting injury is a single focal lesion. Bites frequently occur when the spider is compressed against exposed flesh, typically while a person is sleeping or getting dressed.
No specifics, but still some good information. As for special precautions, I try to be careful but it is generally unnecessary beyond making sure that you do not get one of the spiders on you unless you know where they are, I actually have a reference for this from another paper: "Gertsch mentions hand-collecting hundreds of recluses without receiving bites " I am much more nervous handling grass, wolf, and jumping spiders(all of which have bitten me) than these spiders, not that I do not give them the respect the so definitely deserve...

Hello,
I am a US soldier currently deployed to Afghanistan in the Mehtar Lam province. Several of my soldiers have reported sitings of large brown spiders in their living quarters. Some of them have been saying it's a camel spider, others have claimed it's a tarantula. Being a medic, this raises some alarm. Soldiers are not incredibly bright, and like to keep often dangerous types of animals and insects as pets or mascots. In my aid station today, I spotted one of these big guys and was able to snap a photo. If you could email me so that I could send you the photo, I would greatly appreciate it. I am having some trouble finding a site to identify this one. The largest problem is that in every search I conduct, people are only seeming interested in camel spiders which aren't an arachnid at all, but a member of the crustecian family. I am unable to find any sites that have any info on common spiders in the middle east and asia.
It was rather large, the torso being about 2 1/2" to 3" inches in length, and about an inch wide. Or, about the size of an average adult male thumb. The legs spread out over 4" to 6", or the size of a palm. Definitely not camel spider. It was a tan/gray color with very fine hair. I tried to scoop him up for further investigation, but he ran around the side of the box and fell. It was on a high shelf. To my amazement however, he floated safely to the floor via the web he had attached to the box, and sped away. Not common with a tarantula. In fact, I've never heard of a tarantula dangling from a single line of web, although they are able to spin large webs.
You can reach me at kevin.nakata@ymail.com If you can't identify it, I'm hoping that perhaps you'll be able to point me in the right directin. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
