In this episode of "Arthropod Adventures," I'm excited to introduce you to the spined micro thena spider. This little critter has a truly unique appearance, and I can't wait to share all the fascinating details with you.
During my own encounter with this spider, I was able to identify it using the Seek app, which was a real game-changer. Let me tell you, this spider's spiky body is something to behold. It's no wonder it got its name from the Greek word "thena," meaning "spine."
But it's not just the appearance that makes this spider interesting. Its behavior and reproductive habits are equally captivating. I'll be diving into all of that during this episode, so get ready to learn something new.
One thing that really stood out to me is the sexual dimorphism between males and females. The differences in their appearance are quite striking, and I'll be sharing all the details with you.
Whether you're a seasoned nature enthusiast or just curious about the wonders of the arthropod world, this episode is sure to be an interesting listen. So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this arachnid adventure together.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the European mantis, an insect that was brought to the United States to help control gypsy moth caterpillars. Let me tell you about its appearance, hunting skills, and the important role it plays in our environment. I also have a personal story to share about a mantis egg sac hatching in my home, which really left a lasting impression on me. Towards the end of the episode, we invite our listeners to share their own experiences and we even have a haiku-style poem about the mantis. I hope you find this podcast both educational and entertaining, as we aim to provide you with informative facts and engaging personal stories.
