Euryopis
Ant-eating Spiders
Euryopis is a genus of small comb-footed spiders (family Theridiidae, subfamily Hadrotarsinae) distributed worldwide. Unlike most theridiids, these spiders do not construct prey-catching webs. They are specialized ant predators, using a unique hunting technique where they immobilize ants with silk and haul them to safe feeding locations. The genus contains approximately 82 species as of October 2025, with about 20 species recorded in North America north of Mexico.
