Chinese Golden Scorpion - Mesobuthus martensii  = (Dyed Black Scorpion)

Mesobuthus martensii is a species of scorpion in the family Buthidae. Its common names include Chinese scorpion, Manchurian scorpion, Chinese armor-tail scorpion and Chinese golden scorpion. Despite its common name, this scorpion is not only found in Manchuria or China, but also in Mongolia, Korea and Japan. Its preferred habitat is warm, dry areas with little vegetation. M. martensii can grow to about 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long, with females usually slightly larger, and has a life-span of about 4 to 6 years.

M. martensii, especially its tail, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries to treat various neuronal problems, such as chronic pain, paralysis, apoplexy and epilepsy. Over the past few decades, dozens of novel proteins in this scorpion's venom have been identified, cloned and investigated for clinical applications. For instance, at least 51 long-chain peptides related to the sodium channel toxins and 18 peptides related to the potassium channel toxins have been described, along with two peptides, BmK AS and AS1, that act on ryanodine receptors. Apart from having analgesic properties, BmK AS is also the first long-chain scorpion peptide reported to have antimicrobial activity. Amongst the sodium channel-specific neurotoxins, there are a number of muscle relaxants, such as makatoxin I and bukatoxin, while BmKAEP and BmK IT2 have shown anticonvulsant activity in experimental conditions, inhibiting epileptic seizures induced in rats. BmK AGAP has both analgesic and antitumor properties and recombinant proteins could potentially be used in anticancer treatments.

Spiny Spider - Gasteracantha sp.
Scientific name: Gasteracantha sp.

Family: Araneidae

Spiny spiders (Gasteracantha sp.) are only 4-10mm. in size but build strong vertical webs; live mainly in secondary forests.

This spider of the nature, can be presented in different colors, even so the species remains the same one. The males are very lesser, and the females biggest, being possess two reproductive agencies (one in each side of the body), can be found in only one of the sides, being virgin of the other side, or to be found in both. Behavior: In the spiders of the sorts Gasteracantha, Micratena and Eriophora the male constructs the “wire of on acasalamento” to the teia of the female. It touches this wire as if it was musical instrument of rope to excite the female sexually and to make to take it position receptive. While the female is magic with the cut, the male copula quickly and runs away before it perceives that she was copulada. Thus, the males of these spiders obtain to survive and to go to look other females to fecundar them. If they had been devorados, each male would die fecundando an only female, and with certainty leaving lesser number of descendants of what chance was had to cross more than with a sexual partner. It constructs to teias orbiculares, generally in the height next to 1,70 m of the ground, in vertical position in the sustentation structure, places bigger tuchos of teia, that according to researchers seems that it serves of alert the birds, or bigger insects, preventing as soon as the teia is destroyed in possible collisions.
