Spitting Performance Parameters and Their Biomechanical Implications in the Spitting Spider, Scytodes thoracica

Spitting spiders Scytodes spp. subdue prey by entangling them at a distance with a mixture of silk, glue, and venom. Using high-speed videography and differential interference contrast microscopy, the performance parameters involved in spit ejection by Scytodes thoracica (Araneae, Scytodidae) were m...
