A jumping spider seen during the night on a wall
Only one Photograph that I could manage.
Looks most similar to this species
karwar burrowing tarantula
Lesser known species of the common Plexippus genus
Fell prey to a tiny Theridiidae. While some spiderlings hatched from eggsac and a tiny platygastrid wasp parasitizes the remaining eggsacs.
Harmochirus sp - nest and egg sac
These tiny jumping spiders are usually found on the ground amongst leaf litter.
As expected I found this mother Harmochirus jumping spider and her egg sac/nest on the ground amongst the grass. The egg sac was inside a curled dry Lantana leaf.
She was kind of anxious. Walking all over the egg sac and occasionally going inside the opening of the nest as well. Perhaps the egg sac is inside the nest here.
Hermippus sp
Family zodariidae
Seeing this for first time in Mysuru.
That too seeing with 2nd std students during their environment class is amazing experience.
