Description

Menemerus semilimbatus are about 6.5–8.4 millimetres (0.26–0.33 in) long, the male being slightly smaller than the female. These fairly big jumping spiders are dorso-ventrally flattened and are covered with short dense, grayish-white hairs, with hairy whitish palps and a white band on the side margins of the carapace, showing also a small white, triangular marking in the middle. The eyes are large and forward-facing. The legs are light brown with darker rings and patches, while the abdomen is dorsally yellowish or grayish, with a characteristic pattern of several bright V-shaped markings. The females show a notch at the posterior edge of the epigyne and two oval depressions in the anterior half.[2][3]

Distribution

Menemerus semilimbatus is a Mediterranean species widely distributed in Europe, southern Asia and in Africa. In the Americas, it has been reported for Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and USA.[2][3][4]

Habitat

These spiders are synanthropic living in gardens and inside and on the outside of houses.[2] It is usually found on the walls of buildings where it stalks its prey.[5]

gollark: It manages something like 17 seconds boot time from kernel init to *usable desktop* (I think it might include connecting to Wifi, not sure); I do not control the firmware step and can't do much to the bootloader.
gollark: You do, these are DIFFERENT COMPUTERS, that is a significant difference, with different SSDs, and whatever else.
