And then there's Paracyrba wanlessi, the jumping spider that pulls mosquito larvae out of water-filled internodes of decaying bamboo. Found in Malaysia and described in 1996. #spiders #salticidae #bamboo #malaysia salticidae.pl/diagnost/paracyr

One of my favorite mosquito facts is that there's a spider in Africa, the vampire jumping spider (Evarcha culicivora), that specializes on mosquitoes plump from a recent blood meal. It was described in 2003. #inaturalist #mosquitoes #spiders #blood #salticidae #insects #africa youtu.be/dA6sCQlHPEs?t=78
