On this here Tuesday we are taking a look at an assassin, as in the Assassin Spider.
This spider is a highly unusual spider in that it has a neck which is often very long, and a long jaw that it uses to spear other spiders.
They stalk and then stab their spider prey with their jaws which are tipped with venomous fangs.
Technicly they are called Archaeidae, also known as assassin spiders and pelican spiders, is a spider family with about ninety described species in five genera. It contains small spiders, ranging from 2 to 8 millimetres long, that prey exclusively on other spiders
Okay - I’m not an Arachnophobic however I draw the line with spiders that have necks. Hell No! Give me a normal spider any day.
ReplyDeleteAwk! Cannibal spiders!
ReplyDeleteYuck! I hate spiders and that one is particularly nasty.
