Wikipedia articles on Spiders

At the moment there are more than a thousand pages, 700 of which are stubs. To get a picture, it's easiest to start with one of the following pages:

Spiders - should be the main entry page for most people
Araneae families - main entry page of taxonomic tree.

Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Example articles: Blind spiders, Arachnology

Requested Articles

Spider article subpages

There should be several subpages, eg.:

Spider anatomy
- Spider vision
Spider evolution
Spider taxonomy
Spider bites
Spiders in culture
Spiders as food (should be merged with Fried spider)

Blind spiders

A list of themes where there's mostly information on the internet, but nobody started an article yet:

- Cicurina [1]
- Neoleptoneta microps [2]
- Adelocosa anops PDF [3] [4] [5]
- Lygromma anops PDF PDF
- Euagrus anops PDF
- Micythus anopsis (no links found)
- Spermophorides anophthalma (no links found)

Spider anatomy

List of some items that are not explained yet. These should either be treated in an article of their own, or get a section in Spider anatomy, or, if it has a different meaning in other parts of zoology (for example entomology), get a special section there.

Did you know?

An entry from Caponiidae appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 29 July, 2006.
An entry from Paratropis tuxtlensis appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know? column on 22 July, 2014.

The article Spider was proposed for Featured article. It should probably split into sub-pages and checked for accuracy first.
