Red and Black Jumping Spider Phidippus Clarus ILLINOIS RANGE

red and black jumping spider Phidippus clarus Kingdom: Animalia FEATURES Phylum: Arthropoda The female red and black jumping spider is yellow to Class: Chelicerata brown with black and white markings. Black is Order: Araneae present in her eye region. Her legs are ringed with bands of light and dark colors. The male is black Family: Salticidae except on the upper abdomen that has a black band, ILLINOIS STATUS red stripes on the sides and a white band at the base. The male’s legs are dark brown with light common, native bands. The female is about three-eighths inch long while the male is about one-fourth inch long. BEHAVIORS The red and black jumping spider may be found statewide in Illinois. It lives in tall grasses and shrubby vegetation. Adults are seen from early summer through the ﬁrst frost. This spider builds silken retreats for molting or hibernating but does not build webs as traps. It hunts by sight, capturing its insect prey with a sudden jump.

Prey of the Jumping Spider Phidippus Johnsoni (Araneae : Salticidae)
Jackson, R. R . 1977 . Prey of the jumping spider Phidippus johnsoni (Araneae : Salticidae) . J. Arachnol. 5 :145-149 . PREY OF THE JUMPING SPIDER PHIDIPPUS JOHNSONI (ARANEAE : SALTICIDAE) Robert R. Jackson I Zoology Departmen t University of Californi a Berkeley, California 9472 0 ABSTRACT Field data indicate that P. johnsoni is an euryphagous predator, whose diet includes organisms (aphids, ants, opilionids) sometimes considered distasteful to spiders . Other spiders are preyed upon , including conspecifics. Prey size tends to be one quarter to three quarters the size of the predator . INTRODUCTION Since spiders are probably a dominant group of predators of insects (Bristowe, 1941 ; Riechert, 1974; Turnbull, 1973), there is considerable interest in their feeding ecology . Spiders have usually been considered to be euryphagous predators with a stabilizing , rather than regulative, effect on insect populations (Riechert, 1974) . However, informa- tion concerning the prey taken by particular spider species, in the field, is limited . Field studies by Edgar (1969, 1970), Robinson and Robinson (1970) and Turnbull (1960) are especially noteworthy . During the course of a study of the reproductive biology of Phidippus johnsoni (Peckham and Peckham) (Jackson, 1976), occasionally individuals of this species were found in the field holding prey in their chelicerae . Each prey discovered in this way i s listed in Table 1 . In addition, Ken Evans and Charles Griswold, who were familiar wit h this species, recorded observations of P. johnsoni with prey. (Their data are included in Table 1 .) These data came from a variety of habitats in western North America, most o f which have been described elsewhere (Jackson, 1976) .

Spiders of the Hawaiian Islands: Catalog and Bibliography1
Pacific Insects 6 (4) : 665-687 December 30, 1964 SPIDERS OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS: CATALOG AND BIBLIOGRAPHY1 By Theodore W. Suman BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU, HAWAII Abstract: This paper contains a systematic list of species, and the literature references, of the spiders occurring in the Hawaiian Islands. The species total 149 of which 17 are record ed here for the first time. This paper lists the records and literature of the spiders in the Hawaiian Islands. The islands included are Kure, Midway, Laysan, French Frigate Shoal, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui and Hawaii. The only major work dealing with the spiders in the Hawaiian Is. was published 60 years ago in " Fauna Hawaiiensis " by Simon (1900 & 1904). All of the endemic spiders known today, except Pseudanapis aloha Forster, are described in that work which also in cludes a listing of several introduced species. The spider collection available to Simon re presented only a small part of the entire Hawaiian fauna. In all probability, the endemic species are only partly known. Since the appearance of Simon's work, there have been many new records and lists of introduced spiders. The known Hawaiian spider fauna now totals 149 species and 4 subspecies belonging to 21 families and 66 genera. Of this total, 82 species (5596) are believed to be endemic and belong to 10 families and 27 genera including 7 endemic genera. The introduced spe cies total 65 (44^). Two unidentified species placed in indigenous genera comprise the remaining \%. Seventeen species are recorded here for the first time. In the catalog section of this paper, families, genera and species are listed alphabetical ly for convenience.

Jump Takeoff in a Small Jumping Spider
Journal of Comparative Physiology A https://doi.org/10.1007/s00359-021-01473-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Jump takeof in a small jumping spider Erin E. Brandt1,2 · Yoshan Sasiharan2 · Damian O. Elias1 · Natasha Mhatre2 Received: 27 October 2020 / Revised: 4 February 2021 / Accepted: 23 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract Jumping in animals presents an interesting locomotory strategy as it requires the generation of large forces and accurate timing. Jumping in arachnids is further complicated by their semi-hydraulic locomotion system. Among arachnids, jumping spiders (Family Salticidae) are agile and dexterous jumpers. However, less is known about jumping in small salticid species. Here we used Habronattus conjunctus, a small jumping spider (body length ~ 4.5 mm) to examine its jumping performance and compare it to that of other jumping spiders and insects. We also explored how legs are used during the takeof phase of jumps. Jumps were staged between two raised platforms. We analyzed jumping videos with DeepLabCut to track 21 points on the cephalothorax, abdomen, and legs. By analyzing leg liftof and extension patterns, we found evidence that H. conjunc- tus primarily uses the third legs to power jumps. We also found that H. conjunctus jumps achieve lower takeof speeds and accelerations than most other jumping arthropods, including other jumping spiders. Habronattus conjunctus takeof time was similar to other jumping arthropods of the same body mass. We discuss the mechanical benefts and drawbacks of a semi- hydraulic system of locomotion and consider how small spiders may extract dexterous jumps from this locomotor system.

Araneae (Spider) Photos
Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.

Poinar, G . O ., Jr. 1985 . Mermithid (Nematoda) parasites of spiders and harvestmen . J. Arachnol ., 13 :121-128 . MERMITHID (NEMATODA) PARASITE S OF SPIDERS AND HARVESTME N George O. Poinar, Jr. Division of Entomology and Parasitology University of Californi a Berkeley, California 9472 0 ABSTRACT Nematode parasites of spiders and harvestmen are restricted to members of the family Mermithi- dae. A literature review shows that nematode parasitism of arachnids is worldwide and at least 5 1 species of spiders and harvestmen have been recorded as hosts of mermithid nematodes . Infected spiders have varied habits and it is postulated that two types of parasite life cycles probably exist and that the indirect life cycle (involving a paratenic host which falls prey to the arachnid) is probably th e common type . INTRODUCTION Representatives of the family Mermithidae are the only nematodes known to parasitize spiders. Their effect on spiders is similar to that on other arthropod hosts, namely hos t mortality at the time of parasite emergence . The difficulty in rearing adult mermithids from postparasitic juveniles that have emerged from parasitized spiders has prevented a systematic assessment of spider mer- mithids . However, it is apparent that mermithid parasitism of spiders is widespread an d occurs in various habitats . The present work tabulates previous instances of these associa- tions, adds some, and discusses the host parasite relationship . Reports of spider parasitism by horsehair worms are not discussed here . The latter, commonly referred to as Gordius, are not nematodes and belong to a separate phylum, the Nematomorpha . Early reports o f spiders parasitized by the horsehair worms may actually have involved mermithid nema- todes and vice versa.

Regal Jumping Spider, Phidippus Regius CL Koch
EENY152 Regal Jumping Spider, Phidippus regius C. L. Koch (Arachnida: Salticidae)1 G. B. Edwards2 Introduction legs of larger males are disproportionately longer than smaller males, a type of allometry. Except for two pantropical species (Edwards 1979), the jumping spider most frequently encountered in Florida is Phidippus regius C.L. Koch. This species is aptly named in terms of its size, as it is the largest jumping spider in eastern North America. The species is found in the southeastern U.S., the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas, but is most common in peninsular Florida. Abbreviated Synonymy Phidippus regius C.L. Koch (1846) Salticus sagraeus Lucas (1857) Attus miniatus Peckham & Peckham (1883) Figure 1. Adult male regal jumping spider, Phidippus regius C.L. Koch. Phidippus tullgreni Wallace (1950) Credits: G. B. Edwards, Division of Plant Industry Adult females average 15 mm in length (range 7 to 22 Description mm). Females may have the same color pattern as males, but usually females have the black dorsal areas of the body Adult males of P. reg iu s average 12 mm in length (range 6 to covered with colored scales. These scales may be gray, tan, 18 mm). Males are always black with alternating black and brown, orange, or combinations of any or all of the above white fringes on the first pair of legs; on the dorsum of the colors. Those females that are completely covered with abdomen are a white basal band, a central triangular white orange scales are particularly attractive.
