Paraneaetha is a monotypic genus of Egyptian jumping spiders containing the single species, Paraneaetha diversa. It was first described by J. Denis in 1947, [2] and is only found in Egypt. [1] The name is a combination of the Ancient Greek "para" (παρά), meaning "alongside", and the salticid genus Neaetha. [2]
Solifugae is an order of arachnids known variously as solifuges, sun spiders, camel spiders, and wind scorpions. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera . Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions (order Scorpiones) nor true spiders (order Araneae ).
The species is active mainly at night. In the wild they can be found hiding under rocks or bark, but may reach human-occupied areas during migrations. When the spider feels threatened, it lifts its front torso, swinging its feet to expose a red stain on its mouth and fangs. If the threat continues the spider will turn and look for a place to hide.
