Tags: Arachnid.
Arachnura is a genus of orb-weaving spiders of Australasia with one species found in Africa and Madagascar. These spiders mimic litter like twigs or dead leaves by a brownish color and appendages. They stay at the middle of their web day and night. Among the common names are Tailed spider Scorpion-tailed spider and Scorpion spider. They do curl up their tail when disturbed but this tail is completely harmless as they are not closely related to order scorpiones.
