One type, if she recalled correctly, was known as spitting spiders.

"I shall not tolerate another word," he says, spitting spiders in the play's opening line.

On the other hand they will use a head-on approach against spitting spiders that are carrying eggs.

Spitting spiders are members of the family Scytodidae.

Spitting spiders are related to the recluse spiders in the Sicariidae family.

The spitting spiders Scytodes can spit a venomous and sticky fluid that traps its victims and also poisons them.

For example in one part of the Philippines local Portia spiders attack from the rear against the very dangerous spitting spiders, which themselves hunt jumping spiders.

He has specialized in the taxonomy of crab spiders, spitting spiders and Polynesian arthropods, and has studied the biodiversity and taxonomy of Finnish mites.

A spitting spider is a spider in the family Scytodidae.

Spitting spiders are members of the family Scytodidae.

They are grouped within the Scytodoidea superfamily together with the Periegopidae, Scytodidae and Sicariidae.

Prey capture by Drymusa dinora (Araneae, Scytodidae).

The Scytodidae differ from the Sicariidae and Diguetidae in having a dome-shaped carapace and in their characteristic flecked pattern of spots.

The control is also necessary for actions such as the spitting of venomous silk by members of the family Scytodidae; they depend on that mechanism both in hunting and defence.

Silk production from organs other than the spinnerets has been documented in other spiders such as from the chelicerae of Scytodidae family spiders, making the extraordinary claim plausible.

Sicariidae are of the superfamily Scytodoidea this means that Drymusidae, Scytodidae, and Periegopidae which are also part of this superfamily are somewhat related to the Recluse spider.
