She's a species of orb Weaver. Sometimes referred to as a banana spider.
I'm guessing you're in the south east.
Be sure to protect her against wasps, some will eat her- give her a place to hide up in the corner of her web if you can- but don't disturb the web or she may abandon it.
You can also catch grasshoppers and throw it into her web if you want to fatten her up.
Males are much smaller, hopefully you'll see a couple hanging out on the edges of her web at some point.

Can we have one? Every time I read about rabies I think about how fucking crazy viruses are.
>Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. These symptoms are followed by one or more of the following symptoms: violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the result is nearly always death. The time period between contracting the disease and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months; however, this time period can vary from less than one week to more than one year. The time is dependent on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system.
Has science figured out whether to class them as microorganisms or not yet?

This is more of a philosophical question than a biological question. A microorganism is something that is alive and microscopic. A virus is (typically) microscopic, that's check number one, but depending on what someone defines life to be a virus may or not be considered alive.
These links provide pretty thorough arguments and definitions.

I always felt this was a misleading way to put it. Isn't it that water/swallowing causes physical, involuntary, painful throat contractions, and not an actual psychological fear?

My dog has been stung by a bee about 20 minutes ago, this is her first bee sting. Do i need to be worried? she is less than 10kg 2 years old, the sting is on her hind leg on the paw of her foot.

Did you take the stinger out?
She should be okay, sucks that it's on her paw. It'll be pretty swollen and hurt to walk but just keep an eye on her in case she has serious symptoms.
>>
>>2180319
I have removed the stinger, she is licking the area to if that matters. she also seems stressed.

She is now resting/trying to sleep, has a slightly elevated heart rate. >>2180319 thanks you.

>muh aggressive genetics
Just selectively breed for calmer less aggressive dogs
>muh fatal dog attacks
Stop calling everything under the sun 'pitbull' because its detrimental to the statistics. You can't decipher whether its just the mutts or the bull mastiffs or the apbt doing all the damage or which dogs are going for children, adults, what age etc et c... or what.
>Licensing for powerful dogs
Just have basic licensing for owners, trainers and breeders.
>Owner
18 month probationary period.
Must attend dog raising course, basics of raising a puppy, feeding, training, housing, exercise (when, how much) etc...
Must get dog from qualified breeder.
Must take dog to qualified trainer and puppy school. The pupp must be socialised with other dogs, animals, people and children.
At 18 months must pass a test to get license based on basic obedience training and socialisation.
>Trainers
Get some sort of certification in training and behaviour going for trainers so whatever works and the science we know about dog behaviour can be replicated and taught to trainers instead of all this pseudo-science bullshit and it gives owners confidence the person didn't just make this shit up on the fly.
>Breeders
Get some sort of certification in breeding going
Firstly basics of raising a large litter, pack of dogs properly keeping them healthy and sanitary
Must learn about some basic genetics so they don't just inbreed the fuck out of the dogs and creating autistic and physically fucked up dogs.
Yep it means money. Yes regulation doesn't fix everything. But it should weed out people who cant afford to own a dog and raise and train it properly and it will make BYB harder to do as well as stop bullshit trainers.

>Enforcement
Animal control gets an anonymous call heard tyron is selling a litter of pitbull pups he bread with his two pits in his backyard.
Animal control along with the LEO ask to see his breeding certification and the licenses for his two dogs he has neither. Dogs are confiscated and taken to a shelter and he is fined. Dogs/pups that don't get adopted by a responsible owner are destroyed.
>Differences in Licenses
Breeders, owners and trainers would probably have licenses that allow them to house different number of dogs.
This may even help out with insurance premiums and liability cases. More responsibility on breeders, trainers as well as owners. For example some thugs bully snaps and attacks a kid. Turns out the owner didn't have a license. Turns out the breeder is a BYB with no license and is breeding for aggressiveness as well so he is too cops some blame for the incident.
Also i'm not saying we need to get rid of protection dog training or gun dog training or hunting dog training or schultzhund or anything like that.
>tldr: license owners, breeders and trainers of powerful dogs to prevent attacks

Is Taste of The wild good for a pug?
My pugs has a lot of skin problems and thinking of switching dog food, they were eating on Acana and develop lots of allergies since switching.
or is Orijen a better choice? hoping for some feedback. Thanks!

Keep track of the protien sources! I don't know what's in these foods but since it's grain free it's probably the protien they're allergic to. Try one with a different meat.
>>
>>2180212
I was feeding them raw chicken before, but switched since I dont think I was giving them the proper nutrition, then all hell broke loose!
Acana Kibble:
I gave them fish based protein which was kinda ok. then switch to chicken & fish that's when they develop their allergy and developed mange.
should I stay away from chicken & fish proteins?
I need it also to boost their immune system, they are currently under medication from the mange.
>>
Not a dog but my cat did shit on a chicken based diet. Total shit. Skin issues, cat acne and what not. Switched her to red meat based shit and she's been fine for the past 8years.

I give my dogs time with their collars off, at least once a week. I usually give them a little neck massage. I've seen a lot of dogs with really gross matted or bald patches under their collar. That can't be comfortable.
>>
Instead of feeding a certain thing on Sunday, I feed every single type of food available for my fish in a small portion.
>>
Raw bones every once in a while. My dog doesn't really play with toys, but he loves to chew bones.
Any idea what kind of spider did this. The redness is running up my arm.
Before you all tell me to go to the ER, I'm there now.

Specifically ground squirrels. These particular fellows were on the McKerricher beach camp grounds in Fort Bragg CA.
Super chill and friendly, but they didn't want head rubs, only the sandwhich I had stuffed away in my backpack.
