  1. This little Money Spider (Linyphiidae) stayed still for long enough to get decent photos. The body length is 2.5mm.and are, obviously, really hard to identify down to species. There are hundreds of UK species, so I don't try.. They inhabit leaf litter, this one from our garden. I wonder how small the stuff they feed on is? #Spider #Nature #Macro #Photography #Arachnid #Linyphiidae

  10. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🕷️🕸️ Researchers from #Macquarie University discovered a new ballista #spider species in #Queensland’s #CapeYork #rainforest that builds a spring-loaded web snare targeting green tree #ants.

    When an ant bites the cone, tension lines fire it into the web at 1,367 m/s² – roughly 140 G – making this the most power-dense biological catapult known. The spider’s use of pheromone-mimicking silk represents a #hunting strategy not seen before in any #arachnid.
