エゾアシナガグモの♂は発達した上顎をもつ。捕獲したクモを生きたまま傷つけずにじっくり観察・撮影するには透明ビニール袋に入れて一時拘束すると楽です。1mm方眼紙上­に載せて撮れば採寸の手間も省けます。

Adult male of the Tetragnathidae family spider, Tetragnatha yesoensis. He has prominent mandibles, which is male-specific. Found hanging below a tree leaf on early-June, 2007 in Japan.

    thx 4 watching!

  • how ddi you get it to go in its back??

  • 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.

  • nice thats the best spider i have ever senn 5starts

  • wow that the coolest spider i ever seen

    5 stars

    awsome

  • it looks rare like an alien spider

  • 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.

  • eventually they end up in ur bed?!!! lol

    say hello to ur friend Aranaea.

    plz share us a vid of them if possible.

    we must show ppl that spiders are really cool in spite of their unfair reputation.

    and we need ur help! :D

  • 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 :)
