Common Two-Tailed Spider

Family: Hersiliidae (Long-Spinnered or Two-Tailed Spiders)
Species: Hersilia sp.

Location: Pasir Ris Park

Living almost exclusively on tree trunks or stone walls, a Common Two-Tailed Spider immobilises its prey by spreading silk while jumping over and running around it. Two of its spinnerets are disproportionately long and pointed, hence the name "Two-Tailed Spiders".

The head region is elevated above the rest of the cephalothorax. The body is compressed and legs are exceedingly long (except the third pair).
