Hi


this is one of the most unusual spiders that we can have in Europe.
I caught this one near ?VORA when I was wandering around during the night in a very nice natural reserve. Smile

I have seen almost all knew families for Portugal. Grin About 50 in 108 worldwide! Smile It lacks the cavernicolous spiders. Grin (concerning the families).
I like specially the Eresidae and some Lyniphiidae - specially to observe their ethology.

I saw Cybaeidae - but not cited for Portugal. Indeed I have a videocast.. (s** video) with Argyroneta aquatica. Grin

This Palpimanus is very specific on diet. As you can see, it has very strong and long legs I to catch more easily the other spiders and avoid the biting. Wink Not only Mimetidae or Archaeidae have assassin spiders Pfft

Do both males and females heve "assassin look"?
There is a group arachnids (acarid mites) were only some morphs of males have these muscle forlegs and they are real assassins....
