The family Oonopidae, commonly known as goblin spiders, belongs to the order Araneae. These are tiny, often less than 3 mm long, six- or eight-eyed spiders found in leaf litter, soil, under bark, and in caves worldwide, with the highest diversity in tropical regions. Goblin spiders are primarily nocturnal hunters, feeding on small invertebrates, and are known for their cryptic lifestyle and reduced or absent eyes in some cave-dwelling species. Despite their small size, they exhibit remarkable morphological diversity and specialized adaptations, such as hardened body plates and intricate reproductive structures, making them a fascinating group for arachnologists.
