Scytodes Affinis
''Scytodes'' is a genus of spitting spiders that occur all around the world. The most widely distributed species is ''Scytodes thoracica'', which originally had a palearctic distribution, but has been introduced to North America, Argentina, India, Australia, and New Zealand. The genus was first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1804. Spitting spiders have pale yellow bodies with black spots on their cephalothorax, and legs that are characterized by black bands. Behavior Reproduction Spitting spiders are typically solitary until mating or hunting due to their aggressive nature. Males are cautious when trying to find a mate. Females carry their eggs until they hatch, typically under their body or in their chelicerae. This is the most vulnerable stage in life, the egg-carrying period. Upon hatching, the juvenile spiders remain in their mother's web. They cooperatively capture and feed on prey caught in the web. Upon reaching sexual maturity, the young spiders leave the web, ...

Scytodes Thoracica
''Scytodes thoracica'' is a spitting spider, so called because it spits a venomous sticky silken substance over its prey. Its size ranges between .

This particular spitting spider features the presence of silk glands in its cephalothorax. Besides the silk glands in its abdomen, the spider also has silk glands connected with its venom glands. In this way the spider has the ability to make venomous silk. Other Arachnida, arachnids may also have silk glands in their cephalothorax, such as the pseudoscorpions. Hunting tactics In contrast to the pseudoscorpions that use the silk from the cephalothorax glands to make nests, the spitting spider uses ...
