The little leaf spider

In the 19th grade biology teacher handbook, I saw that the spider is a "Hewan berbuku-buku or anthropod, meaning that it has several body segments which are classified into the order Araneae and belong to the class Arachnida.

What is meant by berbuku-buku here is to have several body segments such as:

1. Two body segments
2. Four pairs of legs
3. Does not have a mouth as a chewer like other animals.

And when I saw one of the little spiders clinging to the leaves of wild plants growing on the empty land that had long been abandoned by its owner then I thought that they are one species of the many spiders in this world.

However, this small spider has a very weak body and is also very small when compared to spiders in other locations, such as house spiders, forest spiders, rock spiders and also other spider species that live around where we live.

With many types of species that have been found to have different postures and also in terms of color itself. So, in this way the spider itself is divided into many varieties, at least to find out then we can distinguish which one is venomous and some which are not harmful to humans themselves.

When I heard that there was a poisonous spider, I myself looked for that type. By searching on Google's search engine, I found one of the blogs that listed several species of spiders, even deadly venomous.

2	Genus Latrodectus hesperus
3	Genus Steatoda nobilis
4	Genus Latrodectus hasselti
5	Genus Sicarius hahni

The world's dangerous spider

It turns out that one of the most dangerous spiders in the world, one of which is in our region, namely Indonesia, it comes from the Latrodectus hesperus clan or we here call it the Black Widow Spider regarding this mention I myself do not have an accurate answer, and giving this name, of course, has the right and suitable reason for this spider to have.

Then what about the leaf spider (common name in our region)? Is he dangerous or not...

Regarding this question you can answer yourself, because if you look at it from a physical point of view and its very small size is a weak species when compared to others. Even so, I myself see that he is very shy or very afraid of objects larger than his size, he is often hunted by several ladybugs that live and nest in one location with him, to protect his body from predators, and to trap prey smaller than his size, then he would continue to set traps in the form of nets that were affixed to every area under his control.

Even though he is very shy or small, he stays in open areas, although he always hides behind the narrow leaves but he also has a powerful predatory instinct, this is certainly the possession of every species of spider, as mentioned above (put up traps), in any route where small flying insects such as reungat (an Acehnese term) frequent.

When the small prey gets caught in the trap (net) that it has installed, of course it will wait several days for the decomposition process or the body of the small prey will melt and rot.

Why...

Because each small insect's body that is still intact or alive cannot chew like other predators, this is because it does not have a mouth and teeth to chew on. Therefore, when the prey thaws it will suck the liquid with one of the tools found in its body.

The behavior of eating food is almost the same as the butterfly, the butterfly itself sucks the liquid from the rotten fruit on each fruit that falls to the ground or will suck the liquid droplets at its location, it also sucks the nectar of the flower of its choice.

And, regarding the behavior of butterflies in every time they supply their food to their bodies, you can see them below.

This little yellow leaf spider, I found behind our house, in one of the vacant lots belonging to a neighbor that had long been abandoned, it was because of its deteriorating economic impact in recent years. So that the owner changed his profession to become a daily worker in one of the private companies in our neighborhood

Previously, this location was a fruit-planting cultivation area that often produced big harvests, but when they entered the beginning of 2018 they went bankrupt for reasons not known for sure.

However, I can borrow and use it, if I need to plant crops, so I often clean it for the purpose of cleaning so that I can grow crops that produce vegetables for my daily life.

That's all about the little spider and see you in an upcoming post
