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.
This recently announced new species of tarantula, found in Northern Sri Lanka, has a leg span of 8 inchesâthat's roughly the size of your face! Itâs part of an arboreal group called tiger spiders, which are indigenous to India and Sri Lanka.
