Leg Types and Characteristics of Spider Walking on Water in Korea

2014년 3월부터 8월18일 까지 닷거미과, 늑대거미과, 무당거미과, 왕거미과, 갈거미과를 수면 위에서 걷도록 하여 관찰 조사 연구한 결과를 이에 보고하는 바이다.

From March to August 18 2014, after comparing and analyzing the tarsus structure of Pisauridae, Lycosidae, Nephilidae, Araneidae, Tetragnathidae, authors report the results of investigations. In observation of Arachnids tarsus structure with a scanning electron microscope, authors have found that wandering spiders inhabiting at the water’s edge have countless hairs on metatarsus and the hairs are covered with fine hairs. On the other hand, settling spiders have much less hairs on tarsus and the fine hairs on their hair were not observed.
