Hersiliola simoni (O. P.-Cambridge, 1872)
Τree trunk spiders (Hersiliidae) have two very prominent spinnerets that are almost as long as their abdomen; they are also known as "two-tailed spiders". Being very well camouflaged for life on the trunks of trees, they have an interesting way of capturing prey: instead of a web they lay a light coating of threads over an area of tree bark and wait for an insect to stray onto that patch. Once that occurs, they direct their spinnerets toward their prey and circle it.
