neville park<p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/SpiderSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpiderSunday</span></a>: several of the spiders I met on that one warm day last week! A running crab spider (_Philodromus_), a bold jumping spider (_Phidippus audax_), some kind of crab spider in tribe Coriarachnini (_Bassaniana_?), and a good old zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) with what looks like most of a mesh-web weaver (family Dictynidae). </p><p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/ArthroBeauty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArthroBeauty</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/DailySpiderPic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailySpiderPic</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/SpidersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpidersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spiders</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/JumpingSpiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JumpingSpiders</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Araneae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Araneae</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Salticidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Salticidae</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Philodromidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Philodromidae</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Thomisidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thomisidae</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Dictynidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dictynidae</span></a></p>

neville park<p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/SpiderSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpiderSunday</span></a>: under a stone ledge, a cellar spider (family Pholcidae) clutches her bundle of eggs.</p><p>Most spiders wrap eggs in sacs of protective silk and fix them to surfaces or hang them from a silk line. Some spiders carry their egg sacs around with them (e.g. Sparassidae, Pisauridae, Lycosidae). Others have eggs lightly scattered over a leaf and covered with a few thin lines of silk, which they guard (e.g. some Salticidae). Cellar spiders like this, however, wrap their eggs very lightly into a ball and carry it in their jaws. Towards hatching, you will be able to see the baby spiders' legs forming inside the eggs as curved stripes.</p><p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/ArthroBeauty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArthroBeauty</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/DailySpiderPic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DailySpiderPic</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/SpidersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpidersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spiders</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/SpiderBehaviour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpiderBehaviour</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Araneae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Araneae</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/Pholcidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pholcidae</span></a></p>
