Dintlha

1

It spits two silk threads in a zigzag pattern in about 1/600 of a second.1

2

Its silk glands in the front of the body (cephalothorax) are linked to its venom glands, so it can make venomous silk.1

3

It stops about 10 mm from its prey and measures the distance with one front leg before it spits, so as not to disturb the victim.1

4

It is thought to find prey using long hearing hairs on its legs.1
