Fun #Arachtober news! This cool little harvester is a first sighting of the species on iNat!

Harvesters are arachnids, but they are probably more closely related to mites than spiders. Spiders have a segmented body but these leggy friends don't.

(Quindina horologium) Tatama National Park, Colombia
A harvester with a brown body with two large spikes protruding from the rear, a day glow green area around the body with two stripes leading to the eye area, and long skinny legs. It is standing on leaf.

Thwaitesia argentiopunctata, the 'mirror- or sequined-spider', native to Australia, has scales coated in guanine, the same as the "G" base in your DNA.

Guanine forms rhomboid crystals with a high index of refraction, making it a biological 'mirror coating'. Sparkly!

Now I'm worried some of you don't know about Paraplectana tsushimensis, the ladybird-mimic spider.

Found a bunch of debris on the underside of a leaf and thought the spider might be dead, but it wriggled out and I got a few photos. Turns out it's a ghost spider and one of only three observations of the species on iNat. #Arachtober
(Mesilla vittiventris) Tatama National Park, Colombia
A white colored spider with a brown chevron pattern on the abdomen. It is standing on a leaf and its legs are so long they didn't fit in this close frame. A pile of insect debris on the underside of a leaf with an upside down spider among it. The spider has very long legs.

A very small jumping spider, having a very very small snack. Very relatable.

A very cute jumping spider that is a dark brownish color covered with fine white-orange hairs and big glassy eyes peeks over a plant stem. There is a small lump of something it's eating in its mouth.

Tonight's spider is a huntsman spider. These leggy friends don't build webs - they use their speed and agility to hunt down prey. #Arachtober
Family Sparassidae, Cuyabeno Reserve, Ecuador
A greenish spider standing on a leaf. It has long legs and appears to be standing on tiptoe, ready to zip off at any second.
