Zoology - October 2007

Recently in my apartment I have seen the biggest spider ever!! (to me anyways lol)...It is grayish in color...has a big abdomen...I live in NC if that makes any difference...I know this isn't a great description but I am really freaked out by spiders and am just wondering if this kind could be harmful to me! Thanks!

Why do certain insects always seem to cross and intersect their limbs in death? I'll always find dead moth or spiders in such positions by my window sill.

I found this weird fly at home, it has SO long legs, two eys, and >long antennae< yes! you hear that right, the weird fly has LONG antennae and THIN body.

I think it's a cross-breed between a housefly and a mosquito, but who knows? It's not the first time that I seen it, I'm trying to find it again so I can take a picture of it and post it online for identification.

I've searched through http://www.whatsthatbug.com/index.html database but couldn't find it there, perhaps because I live in egypt?

anyway, if you don't know it, wait for the photo, I'll search for it tomorrow.

Taxidermy, skulls, animal skeletons, deer skeletons. Please, I don't need to know how to spruce up a fresh skull, I need to know how to spruce up an already cleaned, dry, brittle, exposed to the elements for years skull.

I posted this question about 10 mins ago, then realised I couldnt interact with the answers. Sorry for posting again but it's really interesting how the vast majority of people are completely unaware of this. Cow's milk is NOT meant for humans fullstop. It is designed for cows. In fact it is designed for calves. It is so so bad for humans and most of us are lactose-intolerant at birth but get weaned on to cow's milk. It's interesting how we have been completely brain-washed by advertising. The perfect food for newborns is mother's milk, not milk. We are not cows. Just think about it, it's just like giving monkeys dogs' mil and giraffes human milk. It's not right. Cows have 4 stomachs, cows is so not right for our digestive system. I am not a nutritionist but I am very heavily interested and well read in the subject and I will just tell you this: my children used to be permanently ill, runny noses/ fevers/ coughs, all sorts. Since the very day we gave up cows milk, Feb 06, not ONCE ill.
