MEET THE SPIDERS
Most Spiders are smaller than your thumb, but they have a
mighty reputation. Venom and silk are their superpowers and
they save us from a world that would otherwise be overrun
with insects.
At Spiders – The Exhibition, you can find out how
these amazing animals have become one of the most
successful creatures on Earth. Chances are you’re always
close to a spider.
A useful way to get to know spiders is to group them
according to their lifestyles. Hunters, burrowers and
weavers differ in the way they catch their food (prey)
and how they use silk.
Come face to face with 12 live spider species during your visit
to Spiders - The Exhibition. Here you can meet some of the
amazing arachnids that will make Queensland Museum their
home until 4 May 2020.

The unit is headed by Queensland Museum’s very own spider man, Dr Robert Raven who has discovered around 500 species. Some of these spiders have been named after celebrities including Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Jack Nicolson, surfer Mick Fanning, Karl Lagerfeld, Sir David Attenborough, Bob Marley and ballet icon Li Cunxin.
Dr Michael Rix Dr Mike Rix is a Principal Curator of Arachnology and Research Fellow in the Biodiversity and Geosciences Program at the Queensland Museum. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Queensland, and his Ph.D. at the University of Western Australia in 2009. Before joining Queensland Museum in 2015, Mike worked at the Western Australian Museum and the University of Adelaide. Mike works primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, evolutionary biology and molecular biology of Australian spiders. The overriding aim of his research is to combine phylogenetic approaches to explore biogeographic and other evolutionary problems, with revisionary taxonomic approaches to describe and conserve species. He has dedicated most of his career to working with collections and to taxonomically documenting the remarkable spider fauna of Australia, and has described 214 species in eight families. How many species of spiders have you described? As of September 2019, I have described 214 new species of spider. What is your favourite species of spider and why? My favourite spiders are Pelican Spiders of the family Archaeidae. These enigmatic animals were actually known from fossils before living specimens were discovered in the forests of Madagascar. Today, they are only known from mainland Australia, Madagascar and southern Africa, but fossils are known from the Jurassic Period, and there have been Pelican Spiders on Earth for over 200 million years. They have highly modified bodies, with a hugely elevated head region and long, spear-like mouthparts, which they use to prey on other spiders (they are also sometimes called Assassin Spiders). In Australia we have 38 named species, and in Queensland they occur in rainforest habitats from the Lamington National Park north to the Wet Tropics. These remarkable ‘living fossils’ have captured my interest for over 20 years, and I study them whenever I can! Why did you become an arachnologist? I first discovered arachnology at the age of 10, when I saw what I thought to be an ant in some bushland near Ipswich. I realised it wasn’t an ant when it looked up at me, and then abseiled down to a leaf on a line of silk! What I had found was actually an Ant-Mimicking Jumping Spider (Link to this: http://theconversation.com/spiders-disguise-themselves-as-ants-to-hide- and-hunt-their-prey-33953), and from that moment on I was hooked! I soon discovered that spiders were endlessly fascinating, poorly known and terribly misunderstood, and I decided by about the age of 12 that I wanted to pursue a scientific career in arachnology. I’ve never looked back since! What is your favourite spider fact? That large female trapdoor spiders in the Australian arid zone can live to over 40 years of age in the wild! I love spiders because... They are endlessly fascinating, and can teach us so much about evolutionary processes, ecology and conservation biology. Spiders have a bad-wrap, but the vast majority of species are harmless to humans, and are the dominant predators of insects in all terrestrial environments (and thus crucial to the maintenance of life on Earth). They exhibit an extraordinary diversity of morphologies, lifestyles and behaviours, and have been around for over 300 million years. We still have so much to learn about these amazing animals, and still so many new species to scientifically describe.
Dr Robert Raven Dr Robert Raven is the Head of Terrestrial Biodiversity and Principal Curator, Chelicerata, at Queensland Museum. He has a wide knowledge of invertebrate groups, including earthworms and snails, as well as some frogs. Robert heads one of the most active arachnological units in the Southern Hemisphere. Robert first studied spiders to manage his fear of them. Soon after that, when he tried to study the behaviour and ecology of spiders around Brisbane, he discovered that very little was known about their names. Some were new species so he started working on their taxonomy, naming them. He was Chairman of Queensland Museum’s Animal Ethics Committee. Robert has described close to 500 new spider species from Australia, New Caledonia, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Mexico, India, south-east Asia, New Guinea. How many species of spiders have you described? Too many! I am sitting at around 500 species of spiders that I have described and they are from around the world. What is your favourite species of spider and why? My favourite species of spider is the Bob Marley Marine Spider, Desis bobmarleyi. I found this spider on the beach in North Queensland and my colleagues and I described it a few years ago. The reason I love this spider so much is because it lives on reefs and only sees air about three to four times a year when the tide drops to 0.3 metre. How does that work?? Why did you become an arachnologist? I am quite an unusual case as I am an arachnologist with a fear of spiders! I had a fear of the thought of a spider on my arm and decided the only way to logically manage my fear was to study them, from there I discovered there was actually very little known about spiders and I started to describe them. And while I can manage my fear in a work capacity, I know that if a huntsman jumped on me while asleep in bed, I would be petrified! What is your favourite spider fact? Some male Daddy Long legs have a reproductive organ bigger than the rest of the body. I love spiders because… They always continue to amaze and challenge me. Also I believe the most important things that spiders have done is to allow me to meet an amazing diversity of people and visit some marvellous places through the work I do with them. Which is amazing to think all of this has stemmed from my initial fear of them.
Dr Owen Seeman Dr Owen Seeman became an arachnologist about 25 years ago, thanks to seasickness torpedoing aspirations in marine biology, and a realisation that he knew nothing about insects, except that most were not marine and they were more interesting than seashells. This transitioned to a fascination for mites and the extraordinary things they do in some of the most unusual places. After studying flower-inhabiting mites that ride on bees and birds, the remarkable diversity of mites on passalid beetles, and a dalliance with the Tasmanian mite fauna, he joined the Queensland Museum as a collection manager and acarologist (a special branch of arachnology dedicated to mites and ticks). Much of his research has focused on the species diversity, morphological adaptations and curious relationships between mites and their host insects. How many species of spiders have you described? Although Owen has described no new species of spiders, he has described 121 species of mites, solo or in research teams. What is your favourite species of spider and why? My favourite type of spider is the Bolas Spiders, and I’ll choose the bird- dropping spider (Celaenia excavata). What’s not to love about a spider that mimics not only a piece of poo, but also the pheromones of female moths? At night, when male moths are seeking a mate, these unsuspecting lovebirds end up becoming food for the spider. Another cool thing about these is that they’re orb-weavers that have abandoned orb webs. This is because moths are hard to catch in webs (thanks to their scales), and so orb-weavers have evolved cunning ways of trapping them. Mimicing female sex pheromones, and foregoing web altogether, is the pinnacle of this evolutionary pathway! Why did you become an arachnologist? In the long ago, I became fascinated by insects, especially parasitic insects, which are not only economically important but sometimes bizarre. This grew into a love for ticks, which are a type of mite, and thus an arachnid. I was soon swayed to do an honours project on a type of mite that had been found on birds, but should really live in flowers – and, as we suspected, they turned out to be riding on the heads of nectar-feeding birds as a way of moving between flowers. Mites may be tiny, but partly thanks to this they do all sorts of weird and wonderful things, and I’ve loved working on them for 25 years. What is your favourite spider fact? I love that spiders can be caught in their own webs – it’s just that they’re wonderfully adept at moving on them. Webs aren’t just entirely sticky: there’s often dry web that the spiders walk on; and many touch the webs only with their hook-like claws at the tips of their feet. Should they get sticky web on their feet, they soon give them a clean. Some spiders also specialise on web-building spiders as prey, and these often have cunning strategies for moving on (or simply avoiding) the web so they can attack the builder of the web! I love spiders because… To be totally biased, the best spiders are the ones that are hosts to mites! But my favourite groups of animals are those that express a huge diversity of behaviours. In spiders, I love how they’re all predators, but they catch their prey in all sorts of different ways that seem astonishingly clever to a human observer. In can be the way a jumping spider stalks and hunts prey; how a net-caster builds its intricate trap; or how a tiny silver dewdrop spider raids the webs of golden-orb weavers.
