Heya all ... a friend showed me a video of 2 spider fighting together, and at the end of this video, he was sure to see a long sting on the abdomen of one spider, then I told him I've never heard of a true spider having a sting , soo I doubt it is a sting, maybe she is injured and its a liquid that come from his abdomen, and it looks a little like a sting when you look very fast and with a bad quality like the video was ....

but he tell me : dude its a sting nuttin else!!! he's 100% sure of it , and im 100% sure its not

soo my question, is there a species of true spider, having a pretty long sting (about 2 CM) on his adbomen ?

i am almost positive there is no spider with a sting on it's abdomen

some have very involved processes on their abdomen, and some can even move these processes... but it's not a functional sting in any sense
