Description
Scytodes belongs to a unique group of spiders distinguished by their peculiar method of capturing prey. Unlike most spiders that spin webs or actively hunt, Scytodes is known for its 'spitting' behavior where it ejects a sticky, venomous silk over its prey, immobilizing them almost instantly. This fascinating adaptation allows Scytodes to tackle insects that might be harmful if approached directly. Despite their intimidating method of predation, they are harmless to humans and play a vital role in controlling pest populations.
