Any excuse to feast on some scoff! :~) Spider No, I didn't know spiders have two stomach but perhaps your first stomach can deal with broccoli and Stilton soup and your second with a cream tea! Sounds good to me ... Yum yum! when I was at school I remember being told that spiders have lungs that are formed rather like the leaves of books. So - they take in enough oxygen for the quick dash and then run out and have to wait to recoup! Quite right! Well remembered. Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that because there are mygalomorph spiders (the more primitive, chunky tarantula types) which have the book lungs you describe; then there are the araneomorph spiders (more evolved, less chunky types inc. most British spiders) which have book lungs *plus* a tracheal spiracle (breathing tube), which allows them more efficient breathing and sprinting ability. However, even these eventually run out of breath. The real limiter, though, is their blood pressure/body fluid pressure. In effect, spiders are powered by hydraulics. I'm sure you've seen a dead spider with its legs drawn up underneath its body; this is because the hydraulics have failed. The 33 muscles in a spiders leg only *retract* the legs, body fluids *extend* the legs. Therefore, when the hydraulics fail, the muscles automatically draw the legs back under the spider. Oh now look .. you've got me rambling on about spiders! I'd better do a hundred lines of "This is a gardening newsgroup"!! Then I'll scuttle off into the garden.
