Kukulcania hibernalis spiderling - Kukulcania hibernalis

Summerville, Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA

Size: 2-3 mm (body length)



This seven-week-old Kukulcania hibernalis spiderling was born in captivity. You can already see some of the features that are typical of this species, such as its long palps.



Both the egg sac and the spiderlings were kept in conditioned space, so it may be smaller than it would have been if it had been raised outside. (This picture was taken several days after I separated the mother and released some of the spiderlings.)
