Hey guys, today in a rain gutter I spotted two very unique looking spiders. At least, I'm sure one of them is a spider . I am currently in Taiwan if that helps with the identification. No pictures, sorry
Spider 1:
- ~1/2 in long
- looks like a normal spider
- back looks like a shiny beetle's back (it is reflective)
- back color is mix of yellow and silver
Spider 2:
- ~1 1/2 in long
- looks like a pine needle!
- very thin, green all around with light yellow at the end
- legs fold in to form front of needle shape
- when it climbs its web, the front of the "spider" opens up while the back still remains stick-like
So if there are any bug experts out there it would be great if you could identify them for fun! I am by no means a spider enthusiast, in fact, I think they are quite gross. I just found them to be very weird and interesting!
