Thwaitesia argentiopunctata known as the sequined spider, mirror spider, or twin-peaked Thwaitesia, is a species of spider found in almost all states of Australia. It is known to have a reflective abdomen that plays a crucial role in their camouflage to protect them from predators in the forest canopy. The scales look like solid pieces of mirror glued to the spider's back, but they can actually change size depending on how threatened the spider feels. The reflective scales are composed of reflective guanine, which these and other spiders use to give themselves color. [A-Z Animals: Sequined Spider]

I’ve been inundated with schoolwork rn, but I’m finally getting back to finishing my spooktober drawings from the past few days. Sequined Spiders aren’t really ‘spooky’, but but they sure are fun to draw

I finally made a Spidersona! She’s based on the sequined/mirror spider, because they’re super cool and i love them

I’m gonna need to come up with some info for her at some point, but for now have some sketches and a meme (featuring @ghostproofing and @taterlordinc‘s spideys)

Thwaitesia argentiopunctata known as the sequined spider, mirror spider, or twin-peaked Thwaitesia is a species of spider found in all the states of Australia. Body length is around 3 millimetres (0.12 in) for males, 4 mm (0.16 in) for females. The abdomen is attractively patterned with cream, green, yellow and red.  These spiders, called mirror or sequined spiders, are all members of several different species of the thwaitesia genus, which features spiders with reflective silvery patches on their abdomen. The scales look like solid pieces of mirror glued to the spider’s back, but they can actually change size depending on how threatened the spider feels. The reflective scales are composed of reflective guanine, which these and other spiders use to give themselves color.

Another spidersona drawing! I wanted to do something kinda perspective-y so she’s swinging down to politely ask some criminals to cool it with the crimes
