The family Scytodidae, commonly known as spitting spiders, belongs to the order Araneae. These spiders are small to medium-sized and are distinguished by their unique hunting method: they can eject a sticky, venomous silk from their chelicerae to immobilize prey. Scytodids have a domed carapace, six eyes arranged in three pairs, and a characteristic slow, deliberate movement. They are generally nocturnal hunters, feeding on insects and other small arthropods. Spitting spiders are found worldwide, often in warm, sheltered habitats such as under bark, in leaf litter, or inside human structures. Their specialized predatory behavior and distinctive morphology make them a notable and easily recognizable spider family.
