Are the black bits in bananas tarantulas eggs?

rocketman is *almost* correct. They are aborted ovules, NOT seeds. Banana seeds are large, round and hard but eating bananas do not have seeds because they are genetically incapable of it. We humans are fortunate that these bananas actually produce fruit we can eat ... in some other genetically sterile species, no fruit forms.

Do you mean Som Tam (tum)?\nSom Tam is traditionally papaya salad with dry shrimp, peanuts, fish sauce, lime, sugar and green bean type vegetable.  However, there are variations with other ingredients such as mango, apple, carrot, crabs, etc.   So I think the only possible source of parasite might be the river crabs! in addition to the usual organisms in the vegetables.\nSure enough!  I found the below reference.\nIf you have other kinds of som tum without the river crabs, your chance of getting parasites is not very high.\nGood luck!

No. Once a fish egg is layed, that means it has formed a zygote, the fusion of sperm and egg. It has no characteristics of a seed and will not grow into a tree.

"Variation in Diet\nAlthough helodermatid lizards are specialists on vertebrate nests, they appear to be generalists regarding the kinds of nests they exploit.\nA diversity of prey species and sizes has been documented in the diets of Beaded Lizards and Gila Monsters.  Although some of these prey items are relatively small lizard and snake eggs, others, such as quail nets and nestling rabbits, are large and provice substantial energy gains per food item.  A meal of cottontail nestlings can weigh over one-third the mass of an adult Gila Monster and provide nearly one-third of a Gila Monster's annual energy budget (Beck 1990; chap. 4).  Along with these energy benefits come the basic mechanical challenges of swallowing a large meal or a hard-shelled egg.  Egg-eating snakes of the genera Dasypeltis and Elachistodon have modifications of the jaws, teeth, skull, and even the vertebrae that allow them to efficiently swallow eggs (Gans 1974). Although helodermatid lizards are not so specialized, they do appear to use a few "tricks" to make eggs go down easier.\n\nFeeding Behavior\nHow Prey are Eaten\nHerrel et al. (1997) describe five stages of H. horridum eating quail eggs: approach, pierce, uptake, crush, and swallow.  A Beaded Lizard first locates the egg, both visually and by tongue-flicking, then rises on its front legs and bites the egg with its front teeth, piercing it without breaking it.  The piercing bite may be repeated several times, yet the egg remains intact.  During the uptake phase, the lizard maneuvers its jaws around the egg by either flicking the egg in the air or pushing it against an object or the ground.  The tongue aids in maneuvering the food object into the oral cavity, but the primary force used during the uptake phase is inertia generated by movements of the lizard's head, neck, and jaws.  Such a feeding mechanism, called inertial feeding, contrasts with lingual feeding mechanisms (using the tongue to deliver food objects into the mouth) shown by most other lizards (Gans 1969)..."\n\nNot information about the actual digestive system, but information about diet and feeding.  This is an excerpt from Daniel D. Beck's new book.\n\nLet me know if you want a photo of a Gila Monster!

I can't find anything, but I don't know what I'm looking for other than a black and yellow spider.  Here's a source which has some good pictures for which you can possible identify.  Check the garden spiders, orb weavers, and banana spiders.\n\nhttp://www.spiderzrule.com

a cows eyelid and eyelashes, in a cornish pasty, and another time my husband found a dead spider all curled up, in another pasty. ugg, we have never bought pasties since. dread to think what rubbish they use and call it meat.

See a doctor, black stuff could be stale blood. Stale blood can be a good media for bacteria to breed.

Moist and  dark\n\nDid you know meal worm eggs are in all flour. There is no known way to get them out.\nWhy? the egg is smaller than the gran of flour.

The red with black spots are ladybirds, if they are black with red spots then they are Harloquins and they eat the ladybirds and excrete yellow gunk that stains furniture.  In about ten years time the Harloquins would have taken over and there will be no ladybirds left!\nMy boyfriends a conservationist and I do his typing, so I find out useless infomation like this!

DESCRIPTION: Silverfish are small, soft insects without wings. The abdomen has three filaments extending from it.Silverfish are not often seen by homeowners because they are nocturnal and can run very swiftly. Occasionally, they are found in bathtubs. They crawl in seeking food or moisture and can't climb out. These insects prefer vegetable matter with a high carbohydrate and protein content. However, indoors they will feed on almost anything. A partial list includes dried beef, flour, starch, paper, gum, glue, cotton, linen, rayon, silk, sugar, molds and breakfast cereals. \n\nHABITAT: Silverfish normally live outdoors under rocks, bark and leaf mold, in the nests of birds and mammals, and in ant and termite nests. However, many are found in houses and are considered a pest, or at least a nuisance, by homeowners. Usually they are found trapped in a bathtub, sink, or washbasin. \n\nLIFE CYCLE: Adults lay eggs in small groups containing a few to 50 eggs. The eggs are very small and deposited in cracks and crevices. A female normally lays less than 100 eggs during her lifespan of two to eight years. Under ideal conditions, the eggs hatch in two weeks, but may take up to two months to hatch. \n\nThe young nymphs are very much like the adults except for size. Several years are required before they are sexually mature, and they must mate after each molt if viable eggs are to be produced. Populations do not build up rapidly because of their slow development rate and the small number of eggs laid. \n\nTYPE OF DAMAGE: A household pest, they feed on cereals and non-food items such as paste, paper, starch in clothes, rayon fabrics and dried meats. \n\nCONTROL: Sanitation alone will not eliminate an infestation, although it may prevent new ones from starting. A large infestation usually means the house has been infested for some time. \n\nResidual insecticides (use an aerosol) will help to control these pests. Removing old papers, boxes, books, and clothes from the attic to basement will help remove food and hiding places. Moth crystals placed in boxes in the attic will also help.

"Females release thousands of transparent eggs in jelly-like strands into the water. \n Take a close look at a developing squid, or paralarva. It looks like a miniature adult. \n\nMales produce long tubes, or spermataphores, filled with millions of sperm. Most species have a modified arm for depositing these in or on the female. This spermataphore cluster is implanted on the head of a female (Abraliopsis sp.). No wonder scientists are puzzled as to how squid eggs get fertilized!"

It is a nut from the Buckeye Tree.  They are dark brown on the outside with a small light brown circle.  When on the tree they have a spikey husk.  They are poisonous to eat.
