  • Jumping Spider (Portia sp.), specialising in hunting other spiders in their webs. In an example of aggressive mimicry, Portia sends vibrations through the victim's web to mimic trapped prey or a courting male. The web-owner reacts by running over to the source of the vibrations whereupon Portia launches the fatal attack, paralysing its victim with a carefully aimed bite. Portia is able to adapt is hunting strategy to different prey species. Danum Valley, Sabah, Borneo. June.

  • Signal Crayfish {Pacifastacus leniusculus}, a species introduced to the UK from North America. Signal Crayfish can transmit a fungal disease 'crayfish plague' to native Birtish white-clawed crayfish, posing a serious threat to the species. Even if they don't carry the crayfish plague, the signal crayish are far larger and more aggressive than the native species, and can easily out-compete them. Derbyshire, UK.
