It eats insects, other spiders and small invertebrates. Unlike many spiders that wait for prey to blunder into their webs, it often leaves its web to hunt spiders and their eggs. When prey is scarce, both males and females will eat each other.1

  • Translucent grey or pale brown body, with a dark spot on the back of the front body part and dark, blurred spots on the top of the rear body part.1

Ebituufu

3

Its whirling defence can last several hours or even days when it is threatened by jumping spiders.1

4

Its silk has been reported to have potential medicinal uses.1

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Daddy long-legs spiders cannot bite humans because their fangs cannot get through human skin.

Amazima: Their fangs are about 0.25 mm long, and human skin is about 0.1 mm thick, so they can bite. Bites are very rarely reported, and they cause only mild stinging.1
