Episode 64: Blood-Eating Mosquitoes, Mosquito-Eating Spiders
This episode was originally recorded several years ago and I never got around to editing and posting it - but we’re getting back into the swing of things and I didn’t want to let this one molder away in the vault! A short episode on hematophagy (blood-eating) as a strategy in arthropods, and especially a curious little spider, Evarcha culicivora, which is a specialist on mosquitoes.
