mercurialmalcontent:thelepidopteragirl:cool-critters:Assassin Spider (Eriauchenius lavatenda)This very weird looking spider is a fear for fellow spiders, with their extraordinary long fangs and “neck”. As a matter of fact spiders dont have necks of course. Their head and torax are fused into a single body region known as the cephalothorax. This species of assasin spider is only found on the island Madagascar. It belongs to the Archaeidae. The Archaeidae are a spider family with 25 described species in three genera. Commonly known as assassin spiders, they are also known as pelican spider stemming from their specialised anatomy. Since this species was discovered rather recently, there are barely any informations about it. photo credits: elmagoverde, Robert Whyte / Greg AndersonThat’s a spider???? -- source link
