#Web Spiders

Feeding funnel and curtain web spiders Species: Linothele sericata Macrothele sp. Taroko Harmonicon oiapoqueae Macrothele sp. Black Always fascinating to watch these feisty spiders hunt. It is the real sound and no sound effects are added, these spiders actually make some sounds running across the webbing.

The final stage of a Harmonicon oiapoqueae male It's crazy to see how the proportions change when these curtain web spiders molt into maturity. The appendage length of males increase tremendously. They can reach 15cm diagonal legspan, which is very big compared other Dipluridae.

I made this as a simple intro to “true” spiders vs. tarantulas for a general audience, but for the nerds who want to know a little more: All spiders are in the scientific order Araneae. True spiders belong to the infraorder “Araneomorphae,” and the other major group of spiders is Mygalomorphae, which includes tarantulas as well as trapdoor spiders and funnel-web spiders (I didn’t really discuss the other two in this vid because 1. More complicated 2. I don’t keep the other two as much/have enough footage to do so). The easiest way to tell apart these two groups are the chelicerae (fangs): True spiders (Araneomorphae) have opposing mouthparts that pinch and usually just two lungs while Mygalomorphs have chelicerae that move up and down and have four lungs! So basically we have: Araneae (all spiders) ⬇️ Mygalomorphs and Araneamorphs ⬇️ ⬇️ Tarantulas, funnel webs, trapdoors ⬇️ Orb weavers, wolf spiders, jumping spiders, widows, many more In the spider-keeping hobby, this distinction is often simplified and focused on care differences rather than evolutionary context. But this distinction is hugely important and fascinating in scientific research when looking at evolutionary divergence, molecular evolution, venom and silk research, and ecological function

Tiger curtain web spider grabbing a locust Linothele fallax The venom of the spider has successfully immobilized the prey and now she is picking it up to bring it back into her burrow. Even tho these curtain web spiders from the Linothele genus might look intimidating, they are unlikely to bite humans and their venom is not medically significant.

Blueberry took down this small Western Black Widow in a display of strength and intelligence! He made sure to minimize any risks to himself by checking for a web he could get caught in, positioning so he would attack the Black Widow from behind, and holding his legs away from the Black Widows dangerous fangs. If the Black Widow was in an established web or was a bit larger this might’ve been a more fair battle, but without a web a Black Widow is a like a sitting duck for a large Bold Jumping Spider like Blueberry! #jumpingspider #blackwidowspider #nature #jumper #spider #spiders
