A lovely Long-horned Orbweaver (Macracantha arcuata) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservour Park, Singapore, on 10 Sept 2023. Always a delight to spot this spider with its amazing long horns.

This fluffy furry ball looks ready to become spider wasp food. Also looks like an octopus, its limbs hanging limp under its globular abdomen, the thorax and head somehow hidden away. Despite, it’s all an appearance: notice a pair of limbs keeping a tab on silk strands, awaiting the signal that indicates prey—in other words, alert.
Gorse orbweaver spider, Agalenatea redii. Quite tiny, sitting on a forked twig, awaiting rhe moment to zap a distracted fly or bee http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/181796813

Edderkopper (Araneae) er ikke insekter. Det er en egen gruppe. I Norge er det funnet over 600 forskjellige arter og det er registrert over 50 000 arter på jorda. Jeg blir fascinert av nettene som endel av edderkoppartene lager. Og i dag så var fuktigheten spesiell her i hjemme slik at alle edderkoppnettene viste seg godt frem i hagene og i veikanten. Se på bildene. Under hvert nett så sitter det en edderkopp og venter på byttet!

I saw this Julia Heliconian (Dryas iulia) butterfly and knew what happened: it had been caught by a Flower Crab Spider (genus Thomisus). Spotted at Ulu Sembawang Park Connector on 9 July 2023.

A Boomerang Comb-footer Spider, genus Rhomphaea, spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 12 March 2023. With a boomerang shaped abdomen and long spindly legs, I thought it was a moult until I saw it move.

Happy to get my first shot of the Eight-spotted Crab Spider (Platythomisus octomaculatus) at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 1 May 2023. I heard a visitor exclaim about seeing "a lovely spider", so I went to take a look, and it was this. I congratulated him on spotting a rare spider. 🙂
This is one of the largest members of the crab spiders.

A spiny Orbweaver, Gasteracantha mengei, spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 5 Feb 2023. The spines might make it more difficult for a predator to swallow the spider.

A large Heavy Jumper (Hyllus diardi) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore, on 8 Jan 2023. About the size of a fingernail, this cutie was curious, and kept circling to try to locate my camera. 🙂
