  So far, all the spiders from the genus - Thomisus, Mastira and Platythomisus shows up on UV. Thomisus sp. that are mostly white in colour will definitely shows up on UV and they really stands out once you know they are there and use UV light to 'look' for them. The glows on Platythomisus is more impressive as only the white parts glows and they have yellow body and black spots, which makes them more impressive. Posted 3 years ago
