Ghost spiders
Scientific name: Anyphaenidae
Description
Anyphaenidae are often mistaken as harmless to humans, which is partially true as their venom poses negligible threats to human health. However, their ecological role is immense—they are pivotal in controlling the insect population. Intriguingly, some species exhibit a rare behavior of glowing under UV light, likely due to the fluorescence of certain proteins in their exoskeleton—an adaptation whose purpose is still not fully understood.
