I am still interested in discussing spiders, tiny creatures with the most reliable killing abilities. Many people think that spiders are part of insects, but in reality spiders are arachnids. According to some sources, arachnids are included in the scorpion family. Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, what is certain is that spiders are not insects. Discussing spiders is interesting for two reasons in my opinion.

The first is because the area where I live is an area with a tropical climate, where spiders are animals that live and reproduce. Tropical weather is very favorable for spiders, meaning that there are many insects and mosquitoes that are part of the food chain. With the many spiders in the area where I live, I will continue to add to my collection of spider photos.

The second is the uniqueness of spiders that continues to be discussed by many scientists, researchers, and special lovers of these transparent thread-producing creatures.

In the first photo, there is a small spider, which has long legs. It is a Camaricus spider that I found in the garden next to the house. This spider lives behind the leaves, what is interesting is that in the orange tree there are almost five different types of spiders, that is the result of my observations in the field. Below is the appearance of the Camaricus spider.

In the first photo is a small-bodied spider, some tall legs. It is a Camaricus spider that I found in the garden next to the house. This spider lives behind the leaves, what is interesting is that on an orange tree there are almost five different types of spiders, that's my observation in the field.

The second spider is the Macaroeris nidicolens spider, a flat-bodied spider. This spider is smaller than the spider above. Macaroeris has striped patterns, small eyes, a fat, round body and short legs. Well, I also found it behind the dense leaves of an orange tree.
Macaroeris spins a web there. The web is very fine, with the distance between the threads spun very small, almost two inches. If I were not careful, I would not have seen its small nest. Tonight I am again showing two types of Camaricus and Macaroeris spiders, both of which are mini-bodied predators.

I'm going to put this (Two Small-Bodied Predators)into a daily #monomad contest organized and curated by @monochromes
