Hawaiian Spider

Caption

Ariamnes uwepa, one of a group of spiders that has radiated throughout the Hawaiian Islands. While this particular group has not yet reached into all ecological niches on the older islands, most other species peaked millions of years ago and have been declining since because of crowding.
