Past "Tarantulas: The Delicate Cannibal" Presentation

All 8 topics I picked to talk about on how they
relate to tarantulas.
Back in the first trimester of senior year of high school, I had to go through a class called Grad Project where every student had to choose a topic and go with it for two trimesters in conducting various types of research, interviews, presentations and action projects. For my presentation on tarantulas, I presented to a panelist of five for thirty mins straight about 8 subtopics of my choosing within my tarantula topic. Overall, I did fantastic and cracked so many jokes to liven up the crowd since I've known they've been sitting almost all day listening to kids reading from their note-cards (I could tell by their faces) so, I've tried my very best in order to do so. I was going to pick the vision board version so it'd be more of a creative presentation but instead, I had decided that I would have to pick the slideshow instead because of how my topic has a lot of  information I have to go through that would require much more time to present since it allows me to have 15 more mins to present (30 mins total slideshow). I also chose this format because I do much better at slideshows and how much more confident I am in presenting via slideshow because I've done so many slideshow presentations in the past that I'd be comfortable enough with the idea. I will post the whole slideshow for all you guys to see in a month!

Tarantula Fun Fact #1: Web Size

Image
Spider webs are one of the smallest things a human can perceive with the naked eye of average eyesight. The human's limit of sight are 0.1 millimeters (100 micrometers) while the smallest web width is around 0.3 millimeters (webs range to around 0.3-0.8 millimeters width). But typically, tarantulas have thicker webbing than other spiders because of how the webs are extremely similar to cobwebs when spread about the floor. Now, I'm not particularly saying that spider webs are the 2nd smallest things we can see and that there are sizes around the egg cell like dust particles that can be seen in the sunlight or particularly small crumbs. Fun-fact inside a fun-fact: The upmost tiniest thing a human can see is a human female egg (female eggs are the biggest cell in the human body) and that sperm cells are the smallest cells.

Fun Fact #5: Formidable Infestation

Image
Once the spider population in a home is so over grown, not only in basements and dusty corners but in everyday rooms can be overcome with extremely dangerous types of spiders like a huntsman, recluse, tarantula or even black widow can kill. Many don't know how spiders anatomy works especially when it comes to their defenses like venom and how their venom is regained over a certain amount of time. Depending on the genus, a couple of bites could kill and so even though spiders usually aren't aggressive, this could still pose a huge threat particularly when neighboring spiders are close within territories, causing stress. This could mainly cause a threat against weak or vulnerable people like new born babies, elderly, or in dire need of help of an illness. But don't fret, these demonstrations would be considered a rare case because of how unlikely it is to happen since there are many ways on preventing a huge spider infestation in human-active places but nonetheless, be weary

Substrate

Image
I've been following a subreddit for tarantula lovers and many people keep saying that owners need to keep putting more substrate into their habitats. I do totally agree that tarantulas need a lot of room for their man cave (burrows) but they definitely do need room to use their webs and more space to actually catch their prey.
