In the heart of the editor,
Spiders have always been insects that many people hate!
This spider that I'm going to talk about today,
Xiaobian actually felt a little less scary,
A little more beautiful and cute.
Recently, when a group of outdoor enthusiasts in Ganzhou came to the vicinity of Chongyi Sishun Township Barrel River Village, they found a strange spider, its web was like an aura, showing a light blue, like an "angel spider" with an aura, and Lina, who was traveling with her, quickly photographed this "little cute".
According to fellow traveler Wang Shaogang, this spider is 1.5 centimeters long, has a black belly and a red belly, and its knotted web is light blue, which fluoresces under the sunlight and coils around the spider like a mosquito coil. He believes that spiders may have attracted insects through this fluorescence. People around them are surprised by this, because they have never seen this spider and ask for science.
On July 13, the reporter interviewed Li Aihua, a retired expert who has long studied insects at the Ganzhou Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Grain. Li Aihua said that this animal is called "golden spider", it can weave a variety of white patterns, and even weave a web of English letters, gold spider silk is transparent, very beautiful, its function is mainly to tempt insects.

In response to the reporter's mention of "it is not a white net, but a light blue net", Li Aihua said that this should be the refracted light formed by the sunlight, which makes people feel light blue. Li Aihua provided a number of "golden spider family" spider pictures for reporters to see, he said, "golden spider family" has hundreds of species, there are dozens of species in Jiangxi, the web woven by the golden spider is almost invisible, but the hidden band is visible pure white, sometimes crossed or triangular, the hidden band can reflect ultraviolet light, can attract prey into the spider web, the golden spider web is usually located at about 1 meter from the ground.

Li Aihua said that golden spiders eat insects and can digest prey that is twice as large as they are. In general, they do not attack humans and only bite each other while protecting themselves.
