Koch 1838)Anthony I. Cognato1 and Mark F. O’Brien2AbstractWe document the occurrence of the spider, Dysdera crocata C.L. Koch, in Michigan.  Specimens have been collected from Bay, Branch, Ingham, Kent, Livingston, Macomb, Montcalm, Muskegon, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne Counties between 1975-2013.   ____________________Dysdera crocata C.L. Koch (Araneae: Dysderidae) is a cosmopolitan spider with European origins and it is found in mesic habitats often associated with its prey, terrestrial isopods (Cooke 1965). Apparently spread by anthropogenic means, D. crocata often seems to be associated with suburban and urban habi-tats. A detailed study of this spider's mating behavior in New Zealand exemplifies a species that has been associated with anthropogenic transport and possible synanthropic ecology (Jackson and Pollard 1982). The public often reports this spider to insect diagnosticians given its frequent occurrence in houses and its menacing appearance (H. Russell, personal communication).  Its long sickle–shaped fangs are little cause for alarm because the bite of D. crocata is only mildly irritating and at worse, it causes a sharp pain, which dissipates within minutes (Vetter and Isbister 2006). Six eyes, four lung slits, dark cephalothorax and cream-colored abdomen (Fig. 1) also identify this species  (Kaston 1978).   This spider occurs in many U.S. states from Maine to California (Kaston 1978). Regional reviews have documented its occurrence in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, but not Michigan (Snider 1991, Sierwald et al. 2005).  Sierwald et al. suggested the likely occurrence of the species in Michigan. We document that D. crocata has occurred in Michigan for at least 40 years, based on speci-mens found in the A.J. Cook Arthropod Research Collection, Michigan State University and The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology (listed below). In addition, MSU Diagnostic Services identified several specimens from Bay, Branch, Ingham, Kent, Livingston, Macomb, Montcalm, Muskegon, Oakland Counties between 2008-2013; however, these specimens were not vouchered (H. Russell, personal communication).Michigan records of vouchered specimens include: Ingham Co., East Lansing, 821 Sunset Ln., under loose bark of dead ash, 12 January 2013, A.I.

El Colegio Arborizadora Baja Institución Educativa Distrital, Jornada mañana, es el
colegio seleccionado para realizar el trabajo de descripción y diagnóstico del manejo de
residuos sólidos, dentro de un contexto urbano.
La Institución educativa se encuentra ubicada en la ciudad de Bogotá en la localidad 19
de Ciudad Bolívar, es sede única, cuenta con la jornada de la mañana y la jornada de la
tarde y en total atiende una cantidad aproximada de 2300 estudiantes, de estrato
socioeconómico 2 en promedio, según encuestas de contextualización realizadas por la
Institución. El colegio cuenta con 15 salones para primaria incluyendo preescolar y el
programa de aceleración y 18 salones para bachillerato, también cuenta con 1 biblioteca, 1
ludoteca, 2 aulas de informática, 1 aula de tecnología, 1 laboratorio, administración, sala de
profesores, cafetería, servicios generales, 2 canchas deportivas y parqueadero.
El colegio desarrolla un Proyecto Educativo Institucional (PEI), titulado: “Hacia una
cultura para el desarrollo Sostenible”. El título de este proyecto nos da cuenta de la
importancia de trabajar hacia lo ambiental y precisamente uno de los aspectos que se hace
necesario revisar es el manejo actual que se le da a los residuos sólidos que se generan en el
colegio y su incidencia en el ambiente y en el desarrollo sostenible, según este diagnóstico,
se puede avanzar de una manera clara y efectiva en el desarrollo del (PEI)
