Does anybody have a 'complete' list of a) cribellate vs. b) ecribellate species? which families only contain a) or b), which both, and if both, which inside the family? -- Sarefo 22:23, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I could not find anything about Maratus volans actually using its flaps for gliding. This is mentioned on the Jumping spiders page. Does anybody have sources for this? -- Sarefo 12:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
if somebody has has knowledge of ant-mimicking spiders, this is the place: Ant mimicry -- Sarefo 22:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
What does thela or thelon refer to (very probably Greek, in Heptathela, Hexathelidae and Mesothelae)? We (P0M and me) got so far as to determine it's probably from a word meaning 'nipple' or 'female'. -- Sarefo 02:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
What taxon is Northern funnel-web spider?

http://www.spidy.goliathus.com/english/article-funnel-web-spider.php Says Hadronyche has the higher mortality rate.
I'm not sure which "northern funnel-web spider" was intended. Probably that article should be merged with the other article on Australian funnel-web spiders. P0M 07:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
The spider anatomy section says that spiders eat silk, which they do. is there a specialized mechanism for that, or do they just liquefy it like any other food? -- Sarefo 15:48, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I was going to add The Hydraulic Mechanism of the Spider Leg as a citation for the 'hydraulic' sentence in Spider.
but that is somewhat contradicted by the paper
Maybe some spiders have extensors and some other arthropods lack them ?
'Rarely' and 'most' may weasel out of it ?
I would have thought hydraulics were common in insects ?
Needs clarification - I'm too ignorant !
-- -19S.137.93.171 ( talk) 23:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC) Instead of clarifying we can be ambiguous. "Spiders have only flexor muscles in their limbs and extend them by hydraulic pressure."
On the crevice weaver (Filistatidae) page there's a confusing, unsourced statement that I can't correct as I don't know what it's meant to read as if anyone can help.
As spiders are arthropods, I'm a bit confused as to what is meant by this, so if anyone knows what it should be referring to could they look into it? Hedge89 ( talk) 16:48, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
