This figure is a composite showing (right) Scytodes thoracica and its highly organized spit produced as two zig-zag patterns, one from each fang; and showing (left) the enlarged spit pattern produced during one expectoration episode by one left chelicera/fang. The spit patterns were collected on microscope slides and visualized via DICM imaging. The straight line connecting the spider to the spit pattern was added in Photoshop, but it represents a strand of silk that often appears in just that way just after a spitting episode.
