Still Waters Posted October 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2013 The new species, scientifically named Chaco castanea and Chaco costai, are middle sized spiders that range between 1 and 2 cm in body size. These spiders have elongated body and robust legs with black-brownish coloration. http://www.sci-news....guay-01435.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaturtlehorsesnake Posted October 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2013 well, since they're nocturnal and spend most of their lives living in burrows, it seems like there's little risk of running into one of them. just got to stay away from that old psammophyte vegetation.

Lava_Lady Posted October 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Thats a crab, not a spider, surely. Not sure how big it is but, it's a spider for sure. Hopefully just a little guy. lol the very front ones might be those things called pedipalps? the basic wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedipalp i've always liked that word "pedipalp" Hahaha! I don't mind saying the word or looking at them from afar (way afar) but keep those pedipalp things off of me! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beelzebufo Posted October 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Oh come on, they're just little guys. The article says they're 1-2 cm in body length. I've found bigger spiders in my socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Lady Posted October 6, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Don't care. Still don't want any bugs on my person. If you want them on you, that's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveForTomorrow Posted October 7, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Cool, but middle sized spiders at 1-2 cm? Uruguay can do better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
