Nature is magical, and the general law of the animal kingdom is: males are large, females are small;
However, there are also completely opposite, spiders are female spiders that are larger than male spiders.
Most of the spiders seen in the spider web in the wild are female spiders, and the male spiders are invisible if they are very small and inattentive. If you look closely, you will find that there is a very small spider in the spider web, that is, the male spider.
The long round golden spider is like this, the female is large and male, the size difference between the female spider and the male spider is more than 4 times, the female spider body length is 16-18 mm, the male spider body length is only 4 mm, in the spider web naked eye is almost invisible to the male spider, the photo download is not very clear.
The large spider in the photo below is the female spider (back) and the baby spider is the male spider (abdomen).
In the photo, a grasshopper is caught in a net, and the female spider is eating.
The small spiders on top of the female spiders are male spiders, and the small ones are almost invisible. Look closely to see that the female and male spiders are lying face to face (belly to belly) in the spider web.
The long-round golden spider mostly forms a circular web between the branches of low plants to hunt flying or jumping insects.
The web of the long circle gold spider has a white hidden band, which seems to be written in foreign letters such as W, N, and V.
Pictured above is the back of the long-circled golden spider (female).
The picture below shows the abdomen of the long round golden spider (female).
Spiders can be roughly divided into three types: safari spiders, knotted spiders and cave spiders.
The venom of a few spiders such as the erythropod spider is harmful to humans and animals; but spiders can be medicated to treat prolapse, sores, armpit odor and other symptoms.
Spiders are highly sensitive to changes in environmental factors and are therefore indicative species for monitoring habitat and biodiversity changes.
Most people do not like spiders, but spiders are a large number of predatory animals in terrestrial ecosystems, are natural enemies of many agricultural and forestry pests, and play an important role in biological control and maintaining the balance of agricultural and forestry ecosystems.
