Chapter 1778 Metal Blue Spider vs. Giant Crab Spider
Adult metallic blue spiders have a body length of 14-15 cm, a suitable temperature of 26-28C, and a suitable humidity of 85%. It is recommended to use damp peat, coconut bricks, and clay as substrates.
Their larvae are gray-black, without the slightest hint of blue. Generally, it needs to grow to more than 5 to 6 centimeters before the iconic shiny cobalt blue color will gradually appear on their feet. If they are raised from juveniles, their growth expectation index is still very high.
Every year, a large number of wild individuals appear in the mainland's pet tarantula market, but buying these wild individuals is a relatively risky thing because of the instability of wild individuals.
The wild metal blue spider is a kind of spider that likes to stay in caves very much. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them. However, on this Mercury, it is different. No animal here is afraid of people. Because they have no idea what a human being is.
The same is true for this metal blue spider, it is not afraid of people looking at it. It still stays on this rock.
Zhao Zhongyao told something about this metallic blue spider. After hearing this, Feifei knew that this kind of spider was a very rare and magical spider. They generally like to stay in their burrows. It's just that here is Mercury, which is different from the earth, of course they can stay outside without any scruples.
‘Dad, it turned out to be such a magical little spider! Then why are they basking outside in the sun instead of going into the cave! ’ Feifei looked at Dad again and said.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's knowledge, Qu Yuqian and Tiantian also had some understanding of this magical little spider.
Tiantian said inexplicably, 'Dad, why didn't this kind of spider hide in the cave, why is it in this place! '
After hearing what Feifei and Tiantian said, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'Maybe the environment on Mercury is different from that on Earth! The metallic blue spiders here are also different from those on Earth. Not only are they different in appearance, but their living habits are also very different. '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei nodded and said, 'That's right, this is Mercury, although the species on it are similar to those on Earth. But there are still many differences. '
'Then what is this little spider doing here! Could it be just basking in the sun here! ’ Feifei feels that although this place is in a sinkhole, sunlight can still shine in. After all, this tiankeng is very large, with a diameter of tens of kilometers. It can be said that this is not a tiankeng, but a basin with a peculiar ecosystem.
'I don't know either, but let's wait and see if it moves. 'Of course Zhao Zhongyao didn't know what this metallic blue spider was doing here. But there must be a reason for this metallic blue spider to stay here.
'Okay, let's wait a little longer to see what kind of action it will have. ’ Feifei had no choice but to say this after hearing what his father said.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei looked at this metal blue spider in this place, wanting to see what kind of miraculous moves it would make next.
It was after Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei waited for a while. They suddenly saw this metallic blue spider and jumped up. And, jump directly to the bushes in the distance.
The body shape of this metal blue spider is much larger than the metal blue spiders on the earth. About the size of a washbasin. It seemed to be going to prey on some insects now, so it jumped into the nearby bushes.
Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei dare to feel that this metallic blue spider is going to prey on other insects. After all, besides these miraculous spiders, there are also some miraculous grasshoppers in the grassland valley of Mercury Tiankeng.
Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei felt that this strange metallic blue spider must be trying to prey on some insects.
But what the two of them didn't expect was that when the metallic blue spider jumped up quickly, a black shadow suddenly appeared, biting the metallic blue spider immediately.
After this black shadow landed, it wrestled with this metallic blue spider, obviously. This metal blue spider didn't go to prey on any small insects just now, it should have wanted to escape just now. Because it found another spider that wanted to prey on him.
This black shadow is also a spider, but this spider is not the same as the metallic blue spider, it is a mysterious spider that looks like a crab. It was about the same size as this metallic blue spider.
Now these two giant spiders are fighting in this one place. Although the other spider looks very powerful. But this metal blue spider was also unwilling to admit defeat, so it fought with this intruder.
Feifei took a look and saw another strange large spider flying. He looked at this giant black spider and said, 'Dad, what kind of spider is this? Why is it suddenly attacking the metal blue spider again! '
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the intruder carefully again. He felt that this strange spider looked like a big crab. So, he blurted out, 'This should be a giant crab spider. '
‘What, it’s a giant crab spider. ’ After hearing what his father said, Feifei became a little curious about this kind of little spider.
‘It seems that you still don’t understand this kind of giant crab spider, that’s good. Let me tell you some more about this giant crab spider! 'Zhao Zhongyao is a man of profound knowledge. Relatively speaking, he knows a lot more than Feifei.
'Okay, let's talk about it! I also want to know something about this giant crab spider now. ’ Said Feifei.
Next, Zhao Zhongyao talked about some knowledge about this kind of giant crab spider.
Commonly known as hunting spiders or recluse spiders, giant crab spiders belong to the phylum Arthropoda, the subphylum Arachnida, the class Arachnida, and the order Aranea. Cancer spiders are generally larger, with flat bodies, long legs, stretching from side to side, and running sideways, like crab spiders, so they are named cancer spiders. It is called a hunting spider because of its strong predatory nature. It is also known as the "recluse spider" because of its quick action and good escape. In my country, there are 11 genera of the family Cancer Spider, which are mainly distributed in the Oriental and Palaearctic realms. The body of the spiders of the family Crabidae is slightly elongated, the back and abdomen are flat, and it is off-white to dark brown.
The cephalothorax and the abdomen are connected by the abdominal stalk, and the abdomen is not segmented. The back of the head and chest is covered with a low and flat shield-shaped carapace, the middle fossa is longitudinal, and the cervical and radial grooves are obvious. There is a small flat sternum on the ventral surface of the cephalothorax. The front of the sternum is the jaw lobe and the lower lip. The 8 eyes are arranged in 2 rows, and the size of the eyes, the distance between the eyes, and the concavity of the eye row often vary among subfamilies, genera, and species.
Apophysis: Generally strong, usually with 2-3 teeth on the anterior embankment and 2-6 teeth on the posterior embankment, most with microdentate. Heteropods usually have 3 anterior teeth, 4-6 posterior teeth, and they have microdentations. Spajake has 3 front teeth, 2-7 posterior teeth, the posterior teeth are smaller and without microdentine. Lesser recluses have 2 anterior teeth, 3-6 posterior teeth, and no microdentines. Jitun spider has 2 front teeth and 4-6 rear teeth, with a large microdentate area in between. Legs: 4 pairs, generally long and strong, and their relative lengths are expressed by foot type, usually 2143 or 2413, which means that the ii step is the longest and the iii step is the shortest.
From the base to the tip of the leg are the base, trochanter, femur, stifle, tibia, posterior tarsus, and tarsus. Tarsus and posterior tarsus with tufts of hairs. Tarsus with claws, with more or less teeth on it, and tufts of hairs under the claws. Posterior tarsi end with three-lobed membrane. Three-lobed membrane: There is a three-lobed membrane at the end of the posterior tarsus. The shape and length of the middle part and the length of the two side parts vary between subfamilies and genera, which is an important basis for classification.
The length of both sides of the three-lobed membrane of Spaiaceae is more than that of the middle part; the middle part and both sides of the three-lobed membrane of Heteropodiae are well developed; The two sides are separated; Lisa is special, and the middle part of the three-lobe membrane is very small, which can basically be ignored; but it is difficult to classify it. Abdomen: Mostly oval, mostly spotted on the back, usually with a black heart-shaped spot in the middle. There is a book lung on both sides of the front end of the ventral surface, and there is a genital groove behind it, and the female spider has an external female organ in the middle of the front of this groove. End of abdomen with spinnerets. Behind the spinnerets is the anal process.
Pelvic organs: The male palp consists of joints, basal joints, trochanters, femurs, styluses, tibias, and tarsus, among which the tarsus is specialized, including "tarsal boat", cavity formed by invagination of the ventral surface, reproductive ball. Tarsus elongated at top. The germ bulb is generally divided into partial inserter, guider, scutum, and subscutum. The ventral tibial process, located on the posterior aspect of the tibia, occurs from the base of the tibia to the middle or middle to the top. Its shape and location can also be used as a basis for classification.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei, and then told some more about this giant crab spider. After hearing this, Feifei understood what kind of spider this giant crab spider was.
Qu Yuqian and Tiantian also listened to what Zhao Zhongyao said about this kind of giant crab spider. After hearing this, the two of them became more curious about this kind of giant crab spider.
At this moment, Feifei looked at his father again and said, 'Who can beat the other of these two big spiders! Is this giant crab spider stronger? '
Feifei has already noticed that this giant crab spider seems to be more powerful. It kept attacking this metallic blue spider. And this metal blue spider can only parry, not fight back.
Looking at the situation, Zhao Zhongyao also felt that this metallic blue spider must be defeated. It was either eaten by this giant crab spider, or it would run away immediately.
Because this giant crab spider looks much more ferocious. Its eight legs are very thick, like a big crab that can run rampant on land. The reason why this kind of spider is called a giant crab spider is because this kind of spider looks like a big crab.
But at this moment, this metal blue spider suddenly made a strange movement, it suddenly pouted its buttocks, and sprayed a white smoke-like thing into the sky.
That giant crab spider was planning to continue attacking this metallic blue spider. But when it saw that this metal blue spider suddenly ejected a puff of white smoke from its tail, it didn't dare to get this metal blue spider to attack again.
This giant crab spider is just watching this metal blue spider silently now, and it dare not attack this metal blue spider anymore.
Seeing the situation, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao strangely and asked, 'Dad, what's going on? Why didn't this giant crab spider dare to attack this metal blue spider. '
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said,'You didn't see this metallic blue spider suddenly eject a puff of smoke from its tail. Maybe the fumes are poisonous! This giant crab spider was afraid of being poisoned, so it didn't dare to act rashly. '
After hearing what his father said, Feifei felt that it made sense. So, he nodded and said, 'Maybe so! It seems that this metal blue spider felt that it couldn't beat other giant crab spiders, so it started to use chemical weapons. '
'Probably so! Zhao Zhongyao also looked at the two strange big spiders in front of him and said.
This giant crab spider really looks like a big crab. Its eight legs are very strong, if it fights entirely with strength, this metal blue spider is definitely not the opponent of this giant crab spider.
It's just that now this metal blue spider feels that it can't beat this giant crab spider, so it starts to use chemical weapons.
However, it is strange to say. If this metal blue spider was really using chemical weapons, then it should have sprayed poisonous mist at the giant crab spider with its tail just now. But it didn't spray poisonous mist at the giant crab spider just now, but pouted its butt, and sprayed a poisonous mist into the sky.
This is a bit strange. Because it's not like attacking the enemy with your own chemical weapons! This is obviously because he can't beat others, and when his stomach gets angry, he starts to fart.
This giant crab spider is also very strange. After it saw the metal blue spider start using chemical weapons, he didn't run away. Instead, he looked at this metallic blue spider strangely. It seemed that he was a little puzzled by the behavior of this metallic blue spider and wanted to understand it.
Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao puzzled and said, 'Dad, what's going on, why doesn't this giant crab spider run away! Didn't the metal blue spider use chemical weapons? It should run away quickly. '
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'This situation is a bit complicated. I don't think this metallic blue spider is spraying any poisonous mist. It must be something else. '
Zhao Zhongyao analyzed it, and felt that what this metallic blue spider sprayed would not be a poisonous mist, but something else. Otherwise, this giant crab spider should run away. In other words, this metal blue spider should aim its tail at the head of the giant crab spider to spray poisonous mist, instead of sticking its butt up and spraying a poisonous mist into the sky.
