Few spiders are known to construct silk webs that physically contact water, despite it being both a surface and medium that can be exploited for web construction. Herein, we report on an Australian long‐jawed spider from the Tetragnatha genus (Tetragnatha cf. nitens) that frequently produces aerial webs that touch the surface of ephemeral waterbodies. Field observations revealed webs that were built...
Many animals have been documented to collect and subsequently transport water for several purposes besides self‐hydration. However, there are few examples where this process involves the use of external body surfaces. Herein, we report on a long‐jawed spider from the Tetragnatha genus using its enlarged jaws (chelicerae) to collect water. Field observations revealed a long‐jawed spider descending...
