Some last notes about spider day. Hope you enjoyed it!
This Asian jumping spider has an enlarged anterior median eye - or is this just the spider equivalent of a raised eyebrow?
The fluorescent harvestman is an arachnid but technically not a spider; it belongs to the same family as daddy long legs.
The crab spider from the genus Pasilobus has evolved to appear just like bird poop, allowing it to hide in plain sight from predators.
The only thing cooler than this female orb spider, Gasteracantha arcuata, is her male counterpart below. That’s right, the two spiders are from the same species, and represent an extreme case of sexual dimorphism.
