The tender spiders (Anyphaenidae) are a spider family from the suborder of the real spiders (Araneomorphae) and comprise 56 genera with 545 species . (As of October 2016)
distribution
Their main area of distribution are the tropics and subtropics . So far, six species have been identified in Europe , all of which belong to the species-richest genus Anyphaena .
Two types of these also occur in Central Europe :
- Four-spot tender spider ( Anyphaena accentuata ( Walckenaer , 1802) ), Europe to Central Asia
- Anyphaena furva Miller , 1967 , Germany , Czech Republic , Slovakia
Characteristics of the native species
The two species occurring in Central Europe are 4 to 9 mm long. They hunt at night in the trunk area and in the crowns of the deciduous trees of the hedges , forests and orchards . During the day they retreat to a shelter made of spun leaves. Anyphaena accentuata is also (rarely) to be found in raised bogs or on bodies of water. The much rarer Anyphaena furva prefers dry and warm habitats and is therefore absent in northern Germany.
