Anyone with mild or moderate depression can potentially benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, even without taking medication. A number of studies have shown CBT to be at least as effective as antidepressants in treating mild and moderate depression.
Theraphosids (tarantulas and baboon spiders) are the longest lived spiders having a lifespan of more than 20 years in captivity. Unsurprisingly, all these longest lived spiders are females as males have shorter lifespansâafter reaching maturity (within a year or two) they mate and die.
When active, tarantulas may set out strands of silk, âtrip wires,â around their burrow as a signal that a meal is passing by. They donât like water and flee if the burrow gets wet. Sometimes, a silk cap on the burrow helps keep water out. Tarantulas do need to drink, but they can go up to 90 days without water.
