TIDBITS® DOESN’T LIKE

SPIDERS AND SNAKES

by Kathy Wolfe Back in 1974, singer Jim Stafford told us in his Billboard hit that he didn’t like spiders and snakes, a record that sold over two million copies. Tidbits is sure that this sentiment is shared by thousands of others, so we’re bringing some creepy facts about these creatures.

• Spiders are the largest order of arachnids and are found on every continent except Antarctica. The arachnid family also includes scorpions, mites, ticks, and harvestmen. There are believed to be close to 44,000 species of spiders. Some geographic locations have an estimated spider count of as many as 265,000 per acre.

• Spiders are arthropods, meaning they are invertebrates (they have no backbone), have an external skeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Their bodies have two parts, the cephalothorax, which contains the eyes, fangs, and legs, and the abdomen, where the spider’s silk-spinning organs, the spinnerets, are located.

• Every spider produces silk, but not all spiders spin webs. There are many other purposes of silk – capturing prey, protecting offspring, for shelter and in reproduction. Wolf spiders, which do not spin webs, seize their prey without a web as do jumping spiders, who just spring on their prey. turn the page for more!

• There are about 700 species of tarantulas, who hunt at night and pounce on their prey of insects and grasshoppers.

The largest, the Goliath Bird-Eating tarantula goes after lizards, snakes, frogs, bats, and small birds.

• Each of a spider’s eight legs has seven distinct parts. When it’s moving along the ground, four legs are always on the surface and four are above.

• There are more than 3,000 species of snakes worldwide, but the good news is that only about 375 are venomous. Of those, about 250 can kill their prey with one bite. When they strike, they have nearly a 100% success rate. However, most species of snakes are actually helpful since they keep the rodent population under control.

• It’s a popular misconception that snakes kill their prey by biting it and injecting venom. Cobras and vipers are the only ones who use their poisonous venom to hunt. The remainder swallow their dinner whole, and are capable of ingesting animals up to 100% their 1.

TOOLS 4 LIFE

BY DR. JIM COYLE A Year of Significance

I recently witnessed a sunrise while flying above storm clouds hovering the land below. I realized then that God had bigger plans for me that were above the circumstances of life. With the New Year here most of us desire to make this a significant year. The best way we can do that is to be drawn, driven, directed, and dedicated to the path that is laid out for us. “Along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”

Isaiah 42:16.. I must be drawn; “Draw near to God and He will draw near to me” James 4:8, driven; 16 We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16, directed; “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path” Psalm 119:105, and dedicated; “And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:17. Let’s make this a year of significance and accomplish great things. “The Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.” Psalm 138:8

Q: Why did the spider buy a computer?

Powerhouse Foods A: She wanted a website!

Are you getting your PFV? Powerhouse Fruits and Vegetables, that is.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has discovered a way to classify the nutrient value and health benefits in fruits and vegetables, and it released a study that identifies “powerhouse” foods that can help reduce and prevent chronic disease. It’s the “nutrient density” that does the trick: how many of 17 necessary nutrients are present in each food. The CDC used 1. What part ofclassification the spider is known astothe an elaborate system determine how to score each food item chelicerae? tested, based on kilocalories and grams, 2.

Thankfully it is summed up for us in a handy chart (see www.cdc.gov/pcd/ issues/2014/13_0390.htm).

The results: The most nutrient-dense foods are watercress, Chinese cabbage, chard, beet greens and spinach. Still important but near the bottom of the list of 41 powerhouse foods were grapefruits, sweet potatoes, leeks and blackberries.

Ask your doctor if it would be helpful to add some of these foods to your diet.
