Figure 5 in Asemonea cf. tenuipes in Karnataka (Araneae: Salticidae: Asemoneinae)

Figure 5 (11 AUG 2018). Female with dark opisthosoma and visible red colour in midgut diverticulae of the prosoma. Although females are usually translucent green they may assume this dark colouration, perhaps as a result of feeding. The dark red-purple lines flanked by iridescent blue lines on the opisthosoma may, however, represent a more complicated physiological response. 2, Detail of (1). 6, Detail of (5). Note the large PME characteristic of the genus Asemonea.
