__NOTOC__ ''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. Bites are rare, and result in minor symptoms such as local pain and swelling. Females are between 1 and 3 cm long, males reach only 2 mm and are tailless. ''A. logio'' is called Kijiro o-hiki-gumo in Japanese. ''A. feredayi'' is commonly called Tailed forest spider. ''A. higginsi'' is often found in large numbers near water in Australia. ==Name== The genus name is derived from Greek ''arachne'' "spider" and ''ura'' "tail". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arachnura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
