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

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🕷️💨 The jungle #huntsman #spider from #Queensland reached 3.59 meters per second, doubling the previous #arachnid speed record.
Researchers at #Imperial College #London measured 162 #species across four #continents to study spider #locomotion. They found that longer legs relative to body size predict greater speed.

💁🏻♀️ 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.

I also drew my pony Dakota. He didn't participate this year in the ArtF, so I missed his drawings :'c
