Spitting spiders catch their prey by spitting a fluid that congeals on contact into a venomous sticky mass. They cover their prey in a crisscrossed pattern emitted from pores in the chelicerae. The whole attack sequence is over in a little under 1/700th of a second. These spiders are haplogyne (they lack hardened female genitalia) and have six eyes arranged as three pairs. They have a dome-shaped carapace and a characteristic flecked pattern of spots. The biggest genus is Scytodes.
