ハラビロアシナガグモ？幼体の脱皮 Stretch Spider In Deep Trouble With Molting

先日公開した動画に登場した他人の網でガガンボを盗み食いしていた個体。同定用の写真を後でジックリ撮ろうとフィルムケースに採集して持ち帰ったら中で脱皮していた。歩脚­が脱げなくて暴れるので見かねて脱皮殻をピンセットで押さえてやったら（映像なし）ようやく抜けたものの脚が折れ曲がってしまった。体が固まるまで不用意に触れてはいけま­せんね。自然条件では予め自分の体をしっかり糸で固定してから重力を利用しつつ脱皮するものと思われます。触肢の膨らみから亜成体♂で、ハラビロアシナガグモかもしれない­と教えて頂きました。
Subadult male stretch spider (Tetragnatha extensa?) of the family Tetragnathidae had undergone ecdysis in a small container on my way home. This was one and the same spider which had been eating stealthily a crane-fly at other spider's orb-web (see http://youtube.com/watch?v=lzV5JXv-L-0 ). Keep in mind that this clip does NOT represent a natural moulting at all. The poor guy had difficulty in taking off old socks and broke his legs at last.... Late-July, 2007 in Japan.

Aww, do spider legs heal?

[sigma1920]

yeah, broken legs will be healed (to some extent) through next moltings, cuz this spider is still juvenile.

but grown-up spiders lose their regenerative abilities.

[afflicteddesire]

I have a severe phobia of spiders but I'm fine with jumping spiders, daddy long legs and tarantulas oddly enough. Let me see some unexpected spider, even a tiny one and I scream and run and wait till I think it's gone before returning to the area.

haha, many ppl have arachnophobia.

thanx for ur lots of pleasant comments.

[liceuh]

I feel bad for the poor little guy.

The first time my tarantula molted, I thought something had climbed into her enclosure and bit her in half. I was so distraught...now she's vibrant and rosy pink. Alas I kept her first molting...nevertheless, spiders are very fragile during the molting process. But though this one may have broken it's little leg, it will heal as its new skin hardens.

nvm I found it by searching the lyric in google
