  1. Bug scope assignment Here is the spider I drew before looking at a images online or on BugScope. The image is similar to a cartoon and does not contain much detail.

  2. The Brown Recluse Spider This online image is more detailed and realistic than my drawing. The two body parts of the spider can clearly be seen; the anterior cephalothorax and the posterior abdomen ( Jones 1). The spiders fangs are also visible. The spiders digestive system is made for liquids since most digestion takes place outside of the body(Everything About Spiders). The bite of the Brown Recluse can be painful and cause sever human reaction( Jones 3).

  3. The Home of the Brown Recluse The Brown Recluse is found in the Midwestern and southern central United States. They are identified by a violin shaped mark on their backs. They lay their eggs May-July. It will take the baby spiders one year to reach adulthood. The adult spider can live one or two years (Jones 1-4).

  4. More Spider Facts All spiders have eight legs. Most have eight eyes like this daddy long legs spider. However, the Brown Recluse has only six eyes. Spiders live all over the world, mostly on land, but a few even live in water. The Daddy Long Legs Spider is commonly found in basements and cellars throughout the Pacific Coast and desert areas of the U.S.. It is not known to be harmful to humans (University of California Riverside).

  5. Getting Up Close This image taken from Bugscope provides amazing detail. The eight eyes can even be counted! (Bugscope, 2004)

  6. More to See This Bugscope image captures the spinnerets which produce the silk necessary to spin webs (Bugscope 2005).

  7. Applications • Bugscope could be used as part of a science lesson on classification. For example, spiders do not fit into the class of insects because they only have two body parts and eight legs. Insects have three body sections and 6 legs. Students could then view some images on Bugscope and try to classify them as insects or spiders. They may determine other classifications of arthropods or bugs they see on Bugscope. • In the English/language arts curriculum students could conduct research to determine which types of spiders are common in their area. They could write a description of these spiders, and their habitats. I would also do some creative writing using the Bugscope images. Student could write poems about the images they see using similes and metaphors. • In the visual arts student could also use the images to do drawing from various perspectives. They would learn about how the same object can look very different from a closer perspective
