  • Birth of Maria Sibylla Merian Naturalist and Artist Maria Sibylla Merian Was Born on April 2, 1647, in Frankfurt-Am- Main, Germany
    This Day in History… April 2, 1647 Birth of Maria Sibylla Merian Naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian was born on April 2, 1647, in Frankfurt-am- Main, Germany. Merian spent her life studying insects and plants and capturing them in beautifully detailed paintings and drawings. Merian’s father was an engraver and publisher, but he died when she was three. Her mother remarried artist Jacob Marrel in 1651 and he encouraged her to paint and draw. When she was 13, Merian did her first painting of plants and insects based on live specimens she collected. She was fascinated by caterpillars and collected all she could find so she could witness how they changed into beautiful butterflies and moths. Merian married her stepfather’s apprentice, Johann Andreas Graff, in 1665 and they moved to Nuremberg in 1670. She The set of four Merian Botanicals stamps were continued to paint and design embroidery. She also gave drawing issued for Women’s lessons to the daughters of wealthy families. This helped raise her History Month in 1997. social standing while also giving her access to some of the area’s finest gardens, where she could continue to collect and study insects. While other female artists included insects in their paintings of flowers, few others bred or studied them like Merian did. She published her first book on insects in 1679, which focused on their metamorphosis. At the time, little was known about this process. Some This stamp pictures a people wrote about it, but most people believed they were “born of flowering pineapple mud” – having been born spontaneously.

Department of Zoology. 1. Avicularia 2. Theraphosidae 3. Araneae I. University of Sao Paulo. Institute of Biosciences. Department of Zoology. Abstract The genus Avicularia Lamarck 1818 contains the oldest mygalomorph species described. It’s taxonomical history is very complex and for the first time it has been revised. A cladistic analysis with 70 characters and 43 taxa were done. The preferred cladogram was obtained using the computer program Pee Wee and concavity 6. The subfamily Aviculariinae contains the genera Stromatopelma, Heteroscodra, Psalmopoeus, Tapinauchenius, Ephebopus, Pachistopelma, Iridopelma, Avicularia, Genus 1 and Gen. nov. 1, Gen. nov. 2, Gen. nov. 3 and Gen. nov.4. Aviculariinae is monophyletic, sharing the presence of spatulated scopulae on tarsi and metatarsi, juveniles with a central longitudinal stripe connected with lateral stripes on dorsal abdomen and arboreal habit. The synapomorphy of Avicularia is the presence of a moderately developed protuberance on tegulum. The genus is constituted by 14 species: A. avicularia (type species), A. juruensis, A. purpurea, A. taunayi, A. variegata status nov., A. velutina, A. rufa, A. aymara, Avicularia sp.

  • Avicularia Avicularia (Pink-Toed Tarantula)

Pink-toed tarantula, Avicularia avicularia. [Butterfly Pavilion (2014). Avicularia Guide, downloaded 22 February 2016] TRAITS. The pink-toed tarantula or pink-toed tree spider is a hairy black to grey spider with characteristic pink tips to the legs (Fig. 1). The toe colour may vary from purple, violet, red, orange and red-pink. The male pink-toed tarantula grows to about 9cm in size while the females are larger and grow to about 13cm (Schultz and Schultz, 2009).The mature males are thinner and have longer legs, and the hair of their abdomen has a metallic black hue (Hoy, 2006). The male also has a pair of hooks on its first pair of legs for grappling with the female during courtship and mating (Costa and Pérez-Miles, 2002). DISTRIBUTION. Avicularia avicularia is a native species to Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname,,areas of Venezuela, and Trinidad (Fig. 2). The exact distribution across Trinidad and Tobago is not well known. UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology HABITAT AND ACTIVITY. The pink-toed tarantula lives mainly in trees and bushes and are typically solitary organisms. They live to an average of 4-8 years and mature within 2-3 years. It is a well-known and relatively common species in the wild. FOOD AND FEEDING. The pink-toed tarantula consumes mostly insect prey and is an aggressive feeder.

Rodovia MGT 367, km 583, 39100-000 Diamantina, MG, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] 3 Corresponding author. ABSTRACT. Urticating setae are exclusive to New World tarantulas and are found in approximately 90% of the New World species. Six morphological types have been proposed and, in several species, two morphological types can be found in the same individual. In the past few years, there has been growing concern to learn more about urticating setae, but many questions still remain unanswered. After studying individuals from several theraphosid species, we endeavored to find more about the segregation of the different types of setae into different abdominal regions, and the possible existence of patterns; the morphological variability of urticating setae types and their limits; whether there is variability in the length of urticating setae across the abdominal area; and whether spiders use different types of urticat- ing setae differently. We found that the two types of urticating setae, which can be found together in most theraphosine species, are segregated into distinct areas on the spider’s abdomen: type III occurs on the median and posterior areas with either type I or IV surrounding the patch of type III setae.
