Spiders of Australia with information and pictures. This site aim is to show the common spiders of Australia by means of color photos and some informative text. All the pages together contain over 1400 spider pictures with 520 species in 179 genera that were photographed in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Northern-Territory and Western Australia. Pictures of spiders from NW-Europe and several links to venomous spiders and much more information can be found on the spider site of European spiders. This page is the main entry to more informative texts about spiders and their behaviour. Spiders (class Arachnida) are eight-legged creatures belonging to a group (phylum) called Arthropoda that are different from insects (class Hexapoda) on several easy to see characteristics.
They have no antennae, their eyes are like ours and not segmented, and they have four pairs of legs. More general spider information can be found on these pages: Spider information. The spiders jaws and poison. Crocodilians: Natural History & Conservation: Crocodiles, Caimans, Alligators, Gharials. 1 July 2011 - A new look Welcome to the newly designed front page for crocodilian.com - something that's been long overdue. The entire website is getting a serious shakedown right now, and I'm being assisted in this enormous task by Brandon Sideleau who's a wildlife photographer and crocodile afficionado based in California. The sections you see above will be joined soon by several exciting new ones.
One of these is basically content-ready, but the page design needs to be implemented, and we have plenty of material for the others that just needs tidying up. We're still tweaking the design of the front page, so this may not be the final look, but I hope you like it. Bear in mind we do this in our spare time and run entirely on a voluntary basis, so there are limits to our productivity and talents in web design! 1 July 2011 - A new server My sincere thanks to FLMNH for hosting the main site for all these years. 9 May 2011 - CrocLog Podcast Episode 5 The Crocodilian discussion mailing list.
