Description
Delving into the world of Gluvia, a member of the spider family Solifugae often evokes curiosity due to common misconceptions. Contrary to popular myth, Gluvia does not possess venom nor deliver deadly bites to humans. These arachnids are known for their impressive speed and nocturnal habits, primarily preying on insects and small terrestrial creatures. The impressive jaw size of Gluvia, relative to their body, is not for attacking large prey but rather adapted for efficient feeding on their preferred small victims.
