Eight-Spotted Crab Spider

The eight-spotted crab spider is a small, brightly colored spider found in tropical regions. This species is known for its unique hunting behavior, as it ambushes prey by blending in with flowers. The eight-spotted crab spider is highly adaptable and can be found in a variety of habitats, from gardens to forests.

These spiders can be kept in a terrarium with plenty of live plants for them to hide and hunt in. It is important to provide a small water dish and regular misting to maintain humidity levels.

The ideal temperature range for the eight-spotted crab spider is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). It is important to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations to ensure the well-being of these spiders.

These spiders require a humidity level of around 60-70%. Providing a misting system or regular spraying can help maintain the necessary humidity levels for their health and well-being.

They are carnivorous and feed primarily on insects such as fruit flies, crickets, and small moths. It is important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for their growth and development. Overfeeding should be avoided to prevent obesity and other health issues in these spiders.
