How many eyes does a tarantula have?

Very young tarantulas lead a wandering lifestyle, and with age they move to a settled life in their mink. Young wandering spiders hunt during the day, while burrows, lying in wait for prey, switch to a nocturnal lifestyle. The tubular mink of a tarantula is more than 30 centimeters deep.

Although tarantulas do not build trapping nets, they have not forgotten how to make a web, it lines the entire upper part of the mink. When spiders build a burrow, they first carry lumps of earth and small pebbles glued together with a web to the outside. And later, when the mink deepens, these lumps are pressed with the parted upper jaws into the walls of the hole.

If you look into the hole of a spider, you can see how its eyes shine with a bright greenish light, of which the tarantula, like most spiders, has eight. The front two eyes are dark, while the rest shine due to the reflective inner surface - the mirror. Tarantulas see very well.

What birds are national?

The concept of "national bird" was defined by the XII conference of the International Council for the Protection of Birds (Tokyo, 1960).

The first national bird in the world was the bald eagle (since 1782 the national symbol of the United States), the second - a subspecies of the Javanese peacock Pavo muticus spicifer (since 1940 the national symbol of Myanmar), the third - the motley pheasant (since 1947 the national symbol of Japan).

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
