''Synema globosum'' is a species of 'crab spiders' belonging to the family Thomisidae. This species is present in most countries of Europe and in the eastern Palearctic ecozone. It is especially common throughout the Mediterranean region.〔 (Fauna Europaea )〕 The adult males reach of length, while females are long.〔 Guide des mille-pattes, arachnides et insectes de la région mediterranéenne, Joachim et Hiroko Haupt, Delachaux et Niestlé, 1993.〕 They can mostly be encountered from May through August on flowering plants (especially yellow or red Apiaceae species), waiting for their preys. The two pairs of the front legs, used for hunting the flower-feeding insects, are more developed〔 than the rear ones, which have a predominant motor function. The main peculiarity of this species is the basic coloration of the abdomen, that can be red, orange, yellow or white, with a black pattern. Some people have found in these markings a certain resemblance to the silhouette of Napoleon. 〔 Prosoma and legs are black or dark brown. Like other species of the family Thomisidae these spiders do not make a web, but actively hunt their preys. ==Subspecies== * ''Synema globosum clarum'' (Franganillo, 1913) 〔 * ''Synema globosum flavum'' (Franganilo, 1913) * ''Synema globosum pulchellum'' (Franganillo, 1926) 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「Synema globosum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
