🕷️📚 Exciting insights from a study on raft spiders! 🧐🔍
We delved into the fascinating world of Dolomedes fimbriatus, a spider species with significant size differences between females and males. The study uncovered intriguing sex differences in behavior: Females stood out with higher boldness, voracity, and attack probabilities compared to males.
