Username: ajohanna
Name: blackfire jumping juniper | plexippus aka, "plex"
Name Meaning: specific jumping spider breed

Fact: "Jumping spiders don't have special leg muscles, like grasshoppers, to help them leap. They propel themselves by suddenly changing the blood flow in their body."

[Griffin Torrens]

Username: Griffin Torrens
Name: Wolf
Name Meaning: Wandering Horror (they don't usually live in webs)
Gender: Female
Fact: House spiders (The UK Wolf Spider in my case) do not like cinnamon, and it works in scaring them out of your room humanly! I've tested this out myself, having sprinkled it down the side of my bed when I saw one go under there, and the next morning found her stuck in the sink (the next room from my bedroom)

[fleurs]

Username: lillibeth,,
Name: Vatia
Name Meaning: Named after the Misumena Vatia Spider.
Gender: Female
Fact: The Misumena Vatia Spider is small and resembles a crab for their holarctic "distibution", here in North America we call them Flower Crab Spider since they usually hunt in the goldenrods during autumn.

[DarkestWerewolf]

Username: DarkestWerewolf
Name: Within Fangs // Cyclosa
Name Meaning: Cyclosa is a genus of orb-weaving spiders known for their web decoration. The name "Cyclosa" comes from Greek 'to move in a circle', referring to how it spins its web.
Gender: Male
Fact:
There are only 2 species of spiders known to create a decoy on its web. They will use debris, insect carcass and even old moults to form a decoy spider to scare off other predators. They’re actually relatively small so it works very well as a predator deterrent.

[LemonBunny]

Username: LemonBunny
Name: Polar North's Web Of The Black Widow // Arachne
Name Meaning: Arachne is a greek goddess of weaving and spiders.
Gender: Female
Fact: Scorpions, though they do not weave webs, are a member of the arachnid family due to their dual segmented bodies and eight legs, there are over 2,000 species of scorpion. An interesting fact about scorpions is that several members of the species- when exposed to ultraviolet or blacklight- give off a fluorescent, greenish blue glow and scientists believe this may have evolved as a way to lure in their prey.

[Gulfer Andreiz]

Username: Gulfer Andriez
Name: Cobalt blue Jack
Name Meaning: Cobalt blue tarantula
Gender: Male
Fact: Although the bite of the cobalt blue can be extremely painful, its venom is generally not considered dangerous to humans. Tarantulas, like most arachnid species, have adapted to killing for food, so the strength and amount of their venom is toxic only to their prey.

[Restful Dead]

Username: δρεπάνι
Name: Spinneret
Name Meaning: The name of the organ that produces the silk that spiders use to spin webs
Gender: Female
Fact: Did you know that people who are afraid of spiders are more likely to see them/find them? (I can testify to this fact, being an arachnophobe. I find spiders all the time whereas the rest of my family never seems to notice them)

[HowlingHooves]

Username: HowlingHooves
Name: Leanashe
Name Meaning: From Irish folklore. Depicted as a beautiful woman, this creature was actually a type of vampire!
Gender: Female
Fact: Cellar Spiders, commonly referred to as Daddy Long Legs in the US, are actually very aggressive hunters! These spiders don’t bite people, but they do hunt down the common house spider instead. If unavailable, bees, flies, wasps and even other Cellar Spiders make a meal. They won’t even wait around in their own web, often times they seek out other webs and eat the makers instead! Talk about impatient..

Name: Dream Weaver // Araneus
Name Meaning: Named after the Orb Weaver Spider <3
Gender: Female
Fact: Orb Weavers come in a variety of colors and patterns, but their spiral shaped webs and rounded abdomen help in identify this helpful garden spider.
