#sunexposed

2025-08-19

The #spider #Tibellus #oblongus (#Philodromidae) has a #Holarcticdistribution and is common in Central Europe, thus not being protected. It prefers #sunexposed #habitats, whether dry or moist, and is a free #hunter that is very well #camouflaged due to its elongated #bodyshape. Y. Korolkova et al. (2023) examined the #venomgland #transcriptome and a venom proteome analysis.
