Miagrammopes sp Green Rainforest Miagrammopes

A slender and attractively coloured Uloborid quite common in the rainforest at Mount Glorious. These are cribellate spiders, meaning they have a cribellum to produce woolly silk which they comb out with the help of the calimustrum. Like some other spiders they resemble a terrestrial squid.
