Flatties
Scientific name: Selenopidae
Description
Nestled in crevices and under rocks primarily, Selenopidae exhibit a unique flat body adaptation, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces, avoiding predators and capturing prey. Contrary to the eerie portrayal often associated with spiders, the Selenopidae pose no threat to humans. Their exceptional speed and nocturnal hunting habits underscore their critical role in controlling insect populations, illuminating their ecological importance rather than the myths surrounding their danger to people.
