Google says this #spider is a Spiny-backed Orb-weaver. Its web glistens in the evening light. 🌱 #MyGarden #Arachnid

He is free!
He spread his butt hairs all over the enclosure walls so I'm not gonna grab that molt right away. 90% sure he's male from the last molt anyway, but I wanna be sure :P

SNOW SPIDER - This fellow was out walking on melting snow. He found some grass & went down to the ground. From the long diamond shaped marking on his abdomen, I would say this is a Common Lance-backed Crab Spider (Thanatus formicinus). #nature #arachnid #lookoutforthelance

Autumn, March, - the house is full of daddy long legs again.

A jumping spider sat on a small stone. The V-shaped lines above its eyes make it look as if it is frowning heavily.

Found this fantastic V-Signed Jumping Spider today. He wasn't happy about the clocks going forward either.

Trigonotarbida Forwarded clypeus hiding the chelicerae 2 median eyes & little pairs on the sides Complex dorsal lock between the prosoma & the narrowed 1° opisthosomal segment Last 10, 11 & 12 segments folded on the underside, the last to in a sort of “postabdomen” Ventral sac 2 pairs of book lungs 3 claws: 2 large ones & a smaller one Last segment of the chelicera turned into a fang Trilobed opisthosoma with Lateral Lobe/Plate & Median Lobe/Plate

Araneae (spiders) Group represented: Araneomorphs Last segment of the chelicera turned into a venomous fang Palpal bulbs for reproduction in males Primitively 8 eyes in 2 rows, but eye pattern highly variable Fovea Patella often shorter than Femur & Tibia No muscles to extend the legs, extension is done by self-regulation of internal hydraulic pressure 2 claws by default, 3 among web-spinning species Opisthosoma often without external segmentation 2 to 6 spinnerets from which silk is spinned Book lungs (1 pair in araneomorphs, 2 in tarantulas & mesotheles) Tracheae (absent in tarantulas & mesotheles) Epygine (female genital opening) Narrow pedicel (“wasp waist”) Sternum Labium Endite (extension of the pedipalp’ coxae to process food) Notes: Spiders are highly diverse, this is an overall generalised body plan. Uraraneids and other stem spiders lineages are based on the same general model but with sometimes a flagellum and doubts about the presence of true spinnerets

Pedipalpi (Vinegaroons, schizomids & amblypygids/”whip spiders”) 2 median eyes in & little lateral pairs for species with sight Prosoma in one block for vinegaroons & amblypygids, subdivided like solifuges & palpigrades for schizomids Last 3 segments of the opisthosoma are smaller & forming a postabdomen Telson mondified into a flagellum (lost in amblypigids & reduced in schizomids) 2 pairs of book lungs (only one in schizomids) Tarsus is always subdivided into tarsomeres First pair of legs elongated and used as antennae, loss of their walking function Large raptorial pedipalps Note: This diagram is a mix of both schizomids, vinegaroons & amblypygids to show the numerous features shared by these 3 orders despite their differences.

And for the end of the thread, the pantetrapulmonates: trigonotarbida, araneae (spiders) and pedipalpi (vinegaroons, amblypygids, schizomids)

Ricinulei Group represented: Neoricinuleids Forwarded cucullus hiding the chelicerae 2-segmented small chelicerae Carapace densely granulated Males’ 2° femur enlarged Double trochanter (3° & 4° pairs of walking legs) Complex dorsal lock between the prosoma & the narrowed 1° opisthosomal segment Trilobed opisthosoma with Lateral Lobe/Plate & Median Lobe/Plate Last 3 segments of the opisthosoma form a short postabdomen Pedipalps ending with a small pincer claw Males’ 3° legs modified for reproduction Tracheal openings hidden among the legs Pedipalp folded under the body & ending with a pincer claw

Phalangiotarbida Genus represented: Mesotarbus Small leg-like pedipalps Extremely small chelicerae, exact morphology unsure 6 eyes arranged in 3 pairs on a trifoliate tubercle First 6 segments of the opisthosoma are densely packed on the dorsal side Broad 3-segment end of opisthosoma (often fused) Dorsal anal opening Ogive-shaped main body Crab-like heavy walking legs 1 pair of spiracled linked to unknown respiratory organs reproductive’s morphology unknown Note: This group is still poorly known; further research could change several details radically.

Pseudoscorpiones Group represented: Cheliferoids Pedipalps turned into pincer claws (with venomous glands in iocheirates species) Small 2-segmented chelicerae with a small spinneret called “galea” on the moveable digit linked to a silk gland 0 to 4 simple eyes on the forward rims of prosoma Patella usually is longer than the femur Exoskeleton can be heavily ornamented with tubercles Opisthosoma ending by an anal cone, no telson 2 pairs of tracheae Large genital plate First opisthosomal segment non-visible on ventral side Endite (extension of the pedipalp’ coxae to process food)

Scorpiones Group represented: Orthosternians Pedipalps turned into pincer claws 2 median eyes in & little lateral pairs Legs telescoped backwards Legs’ coxae well-developed & forming a stomotheca (a pre-oral chamber before the mouth) Sternum Genital opening & Pectines (ventral sensory appendages close to the ground) closely grouped 4 pairs of book lungs Opisthosoma subdivided into a mesosoma of 7 segments & a metasoma (=”tail”) of 5 segments Telson turned into a venomous sting Acculeus (sting) Vesicle (contains the venom) Note: Scorpions changed a lot since the Silurian, many of the paleozoic species didn’t have stomotheca for example. This diagram is mostly representative of today’s species.

Orders of unclear affinities & scorpion-like figures: ricinulei, phalangiotarbida, pseudoscorpiones and scorpiones

Opiliones (Harvestmen) Large chelicerae useful for identification Leg-like pedipalps of various morphologies, useful for identification Odoriferous gland for defense pruposes 2 median eyes sitting on an ocularium Prosoma & opisthosoma broadly joined, often merged together Dorsal side often covered by a +/- long scutum (shield) Legs often elongated, with tarsus split in numerous tarsomeres (up to 100) Anus often can be way more forward than in other arachnids Genital opening thrust forward between the legs and also bears the tracheal respiratory system Legs’ coxae well-developed & forming a stomotheca (a pre-oral chamber before the mouth) Note: Harvestmen show a wide diversity of morphologies concerning the prosoma-opisthosoma fusion and their ventral side, so the one here doesn’t exist & is a fusion of several types to reflect the broad average of what you can find among these arthropods.

Palpigradi Large projected forward chelicerae No eyes, presence of specific sensory organs at the body front (called “frontal organ” & “lateral organ”) Prosomal carapace subdivided from front to back into: propeltidium, mesopeltidium, metapeltidium Last pair of legs 8-segmented Last 3 segments of the opisthosoma smaller & forming a postabdomen Telson modified into a flagellum of 15-ish segments, can easily break Ventral sacs (if Eukoeneniidae, absent in Prokoeneniidae). No external respiratory system, the animal is small enough for gas exchanges to occur through the weakly sclerotinized exoskeleton Genital plate extending backward Long pedipalps, used for walking, retention of 3 claws at the appendage’s end The first pair of legs is 12-segmented and mainly used as sensory appendages while walking

Solifugae 2-segmented super enlarged chelicerae 2 median eyes on a high spot Prosomal carapace subdivided from front to back into: propeltidium (larger & raised), mesopeltidium, metapeltidium Patella is usually longer than the femur Tarsus divided into tarsomeres, usually 3 tarsomeres but sometimes more (like 6 among solpugids) Double trochanter on the 3° & 4° walking legs Soft 10-segmented opisthosoma 3 pairs of tracheal openings on the underside of the opisthosoma malleoli/racquet organs on the coxae & trochanter of the last pair of legs, acting as sensitive organs close to the ground 1 pair of tracheal openings between the 2° & 3° walking legs First pair of walking legs significantly shorter than pedipalps Long & strong leg-like pedipalps, covered with highly sensitive setae Adhesive organ at pedipalps’ tip

The mite body plan Although not forming a single monophyletic group and having a morphological diversity way too vast to be exhaustively synthesised in a single drawing, all chelicerates called “mites”, from flour mites to ticks, share a broad body plan easily recognizable, even tho there are many variations depending on which group you’re looking at. The prosoma’s part bearing chelicerae & pedipalps is detached from the body and is called “gnathosoma” Prosoma & opisthosoma fused, forming a new body part called “idiosoma”. Some groups have dorsal shields. The front half bearing the first 2 pairs of legs is called “propodosoma”, and the back half “hysterosoma) Small eyes can be present, most often on the idiosoma forward sides Legs’ segment count is HIGHLY variable depending on the considered group Anal plate Genito-ventral plate Breathing through tracheae if present (openings usually directed to the front half of the body) Legs’ coxae can be fused to the idiosoma in some groups Caruncle/ Pre-tarsus Sternal plate
