@Pieter_Vtieghem @arachnonaut Definitely Eresus kollari, based on the orange hind legs and the fact that Eresus sandaliatus is not known from Switzerland

Want to learn how body size ratios and prey defenses determine links in arthropod food webs?
You can read about it in my first paper together with @ruben_vdwalle, available via @AnimalEcology : https://t.co/fT9YucERL8.
Thank you @TEREC_ugent and @FWOVlaanderen for the support!

@JMJTravis Not a tarantula but one of the huntsman spiders (Sparassidae). Possibly genus Heteropoda but I'm not sure at all

The HYBRIPEST project is hiring two PhD students! These focus on resolving the mechanisms that underlie host - #Wolbachia interactions and hybrid defects; https://t.co/gaIM6KZ1vs and https://t.co/xtJgiL3mKT
Happy to answer questions about the positions, work and group! Please RT.

Next, learning about global arthropod dispersal from @GarbenLogghe! DYK aphids grow wings to enable dispersal when population densities become high? And spiders make specialized silk to balloon away 🎈

Glad to see that the local ladybird spiders (Eresus sandaliatus) are still going strong despite the destruction of their habitat. The large number of males that I managed to observe this weekend made me hopeful again for the future of this beautiful species.

@BonteDries Carrière de la Falize in Aywaille, maar ik vermoed dat ze in de Viroin ook wel te vinden zijn

[Garben Logghe @GarbenLogghe]

Very happy with my first spot of Callilepis nocturna! This gorgeous and rare ground spider (Gnaphosidae) is typically found in sparsely vegetated areas where it preys almost exclusively on ants.

[Garben Logghe @GarbenLogghe]

After years of searching, I was finally able to spot my first Philodromus fuscomarginatus yesterday. This beautiful running spider is typically found on the bark of sunlit conifers and rarely observed in Belgium. Good start for the arthropod season!
