You should get a hunting vid of one of these ! I had never even heard of them before I rescued a long bodied cellar spider with a sac off my cat . So very cool I love their skull faces . Another great pic hinny .

Spitting spiders are not closely related to cellar spiders, although both are gangly and often found in similar locations.
Spitting spiders have a cool hunting method: they spit a sticky mixture of silk and venom to immobilize their prey. (That's why their carapaces are dome-shaped: to house these specialized silk glands.) I'd need a high-speed camera to do it justice; it happens faster than the eye can see.
