[En-Es] Ant-hunting spiders
>Hello Hive friends.
I found a very small spider and got several surprises.
Hola amigos de Hive.
Encontré una araña muy pequeña y me llevé varias sorpresas.
First, because it was so tiny. It actually measured about 4 millimeters.
Primero por lo diminuta, de hecho medía alrededor de 4 milímetros.
Then, I was struck by the golden color of her abdomen, as I observed while following her with the camera as she walked across a flannel and blue cloth.
Después me llamó la atención lo dorado de su abdomen, como pude constatar mientras la seguía con la cámara y ella caminaba sobre una franela y una tela azul.
When I was trying to take decent photos of her, she ran into an ant. I thought it was going to attack her, but to my surprise, the spider attacked the ant, partially immobilizing it with a strand of its web.
Cuando yo intentaba tomarle fotos decentes ella se encontró con una hormiga. Crei que esta la iba a atacar pero, para mi sorpresa, la araña atacó a la hormiga inmovilizadola parcialmente con un hilo de su telaraña.
Searching for identification I found an article by @abneagro, who defines it as belonging to the subfamily hadrotarsinae, that is, the family of spiders that feed on ants.
Buscando la identificación encontré un artículo de
@abneagro, quien la define como perteneciente a la subfamilia hadrotarsinae, es decir,la familia de las arañas que se alimentan de hormigas.
They catch their prey by throwing a sticky thread and then drag it with their two hind legs.
Ellas atrapan su presa lanzandoles un hilo pegajoso y después la arrastran con sus dos patas posteriores.
It belongs to the Theridiidae family, characterized by making webs with a disordered shape and not nets like those of other species.
Pertenece a la familia Theridiidae, caracterizada por hacer telas con forma desordenada y no redes como las de otras especies.
According to what I read in the article, there is a silver stripe between the black and gold portions of the abdomen.
Según leí en el artículo, entre la porción negra y la dorada del abdomen tienen una franja. plateada.
This beautiful creature plays an important role in controlling ant populations. This is the first time I've encountered it, and I regret not having taken better photos.
Esta bonita criatura hace un papel importante en el control de poblaciones de hormigas. Es primera vez que la encuentro y lamento no haberle tomado fotos de mejor cálidad.
All photos were taken by me with my Samsung Galaxy A15 smartphone.
Todas las fotos fueron tomadas por mí con mi teléfono inteligente Samsung Galaxy A15.
