It’s got to be the first time I liked the common name over scientific name.

Ha, pelican spider, I like it.

I don't like the diatribe of legalese that channel is piling into their description. Please go to the source. I think it is BBC Life in the Undergrowth. If it isn't then watch LitU anyway.

Very well done video. No sensationalism.

Really makes you wonder how and why some animals evolved the way they did.

I have to say that is the first time i have ever seen anything like that but it is very interesting to say the least.

 

[kingshockey]

Have you seen the crab spider that mimics a Cephalotes sp ant? I went ahead and looked up the name of anyone's curious Aphantochilus rogersi

They are interesting as well and another first time seeing one for me.

Anybody ever noticed how Xysticus´s movements are almost totally alike to Amblypygi.

Looking up at the gigantic anthropoid one Archaeidae remarks to another, "Really makes you wonder how and why some animals evolved the way they did."

Good video but it irks me a little bit that they refer to spider predation as ”unique.” It’s rare, but not unique. Off the top of my head I can think of mimetidae and I’ll bet there are others.

I think some salticids do it too.

Edit: yes, Portia. Don't remember the specific name.

I think all Portia species are spider specialists, but P labiata is the well known one.
