[ID: Two photos of a red ruffed lemur crouched in short grass. In the first photo the lemur is turning to look over its shoulder to vocalize. The second photo is a close-up, where the lemur is facing forward again, and has closed its mouth, but one little fang still pokes out.]

Hersilia sp. from Singapore, June 2023

image

these tree trunk dwellers are instantly recognizable by their curiously tiny 3rd legs and extremely long spinnerets, for which they’re known as two-tailed spiders. hersiliids ambush prey that wanders by, blanketing it in silk before delivering a killing bite. this one seems to have captured another large spider, while a strange gnat appears poised to sneak a few tiny mouthfuls of the prize

image

another Hersilia, this one in Malaysia. I think these have got adorable faces, with some fluff covering their mouthparts and equally spaced eyes in a square.
