The spiders are golden orb-weavers, meaning they create webs with a slightly golden appearance to catch bugs and sometimes small animals to feed on. Male Joro spiders are relatively small, with ...
Because morphology is so similar between taxa, species identification is extremely difficult. For this reason, the main form of taxonomic identification used in the past has been close observation of distinctive copulatory structures of males, (although this method is now thought by some entomologists and taxonomists as giving insufficient ...
Tibellus oblongus, also called the oblong running spider or slender crab spider, is a spider with a Holarctic distribution. It does not spin webs, but instead actively hunts small insects, which it kills with venom. [1] T. oblongus lives in grassy habitats and can be preyed upon by larger spiders, such as wolf spiders like Hogna baltimoriana. [2]

They are called crab spiders because of their unique ability to walk sideways as well as forwards and backwards.
