i've heard that this group of spiders shows a colour change, when stimulated or disturbed, of their abdominal intricate dendritic pattern (not so vivid as in chameleons or cuttlefishes, though).
i would like to shoot a demonstration vid someday.
I llllove spiders. I think they are wise in their ways...for those who fear them, I think they would do well to acquaint themselves with the helpful nature of spiders. I already own a Chilean Rose Hair whom I named Aranaea lol And all spiders found in the house, end up in my bedroom :)
Well, I've sadly been responsible for the unintentional deaths of a clearish white little spider (buy putting her out in the cold for my roommate's sake) and not paying attention to where a jumping spider was going on my ceiling (right into the ceiling light) So...now I just put them all in my room, and make sure they stay off the ceilings lol With the exception of the Brown Recluse...they can stay outside lol I got over my fear of spiders because I wanted to...anyone else can do the same.
Long Jawed Orb Weaver? I think so. Muariko was right on the fact that they are very clumbsy walking on the ground, but they are known to make there webs by walking across the water. That is one of the few reasons you will ussualy find these spiders near water. They do walk on water better than land.
Really!? Then it could be another species of spider (or not). But, the spider I was talking about makes an egg sack that looks like a thickened strand of silk, and doesn't usually gaurd it. I have no idea.
ah... no! of course he can stand up and run around.
as written above, the agile spider was temporarily put in the plastic bag for close examination.
he (not she, judged from its club-like palpi) was immobilized by slight pressure onto the bag, which caused his unnatural posture. it is far easier than anesthesia.
in this footage, i was just interested in his jaw movements.

that's a good question.
the agile spider was temporarily put in the transparent plastic bag for close examination.
he was immobilized by slight pressure onto the bag, which caused his unnatural posture.
it is far easier than the use of anesthesia.
it is also useful for inspecting female's underbelly genitals (epigynum) alive, which is sometimes critical in identifying the species.
sigma1920 3 years ago
It's a beautiful specimen, though I can't say that I've ever seen one such as this. I think it's rather adorable, actually.

the other day, i found an adult female spider of this species guarding her egg sac (small white fluffy ball) beneath a tree leaf.
i took some picts of her but no vid.

Thx again. As mentioned in the vid info, this is an adult male of the Tetragnathidae family spider, Tetragnatha yesoensis.
"yeso-" means northern part of jpn.

Very strange spider, I can see that she can't stand up on her legs, I think that has evolutioned to hang from her legs and not to stand up. Cool.

the moving spider was temporarily put in the plastic bag for close examination.
maybe i should have adopted the music from the famous soundtrack of steven spielberg's classic horror.
