A distinctive characteristic of these spiders, is the "comb" or “brush” on the feet (tarsi) of their 4th pair of legs, which is made from hairs (setae). The hairs are bent and have fine "teeth" along the edge. They help the spider to wrap its silk around the prey. Hence the name "comb-footed spiders". | | |

| ...ironomus atroviridis are slender and worm-shaped and have a head capsule. Their mouthparts (mandibles) are strongly built. Their bodies are divided into 3 thoracic segments and 9 abdominal segments. The first thoracic segment has a pair of stunted feet. They have a caudal disc which enables forward movement. The tracheae of the larvae are never open; breathing is performed exclusively through the skin. The development of the larvae always takes place in four stages. The flexible pupae have ... | | |

Paraplatypeza atra have brownish-grey legs. The feet (tarses) on the back legs are wider and more flat. | | |

At the bottom of the 1st and 2nd tarsal joints of the rear leg pair is a groove running horizontally. The tibia and feet (tarsi) are covered with short blackish bristles. The great capricorn beetle can be confused with other longhorn beetles like Cerambyx welensii or Cerambyx miles. | | |
|
| The cover wings (elytra) are slightly separated, have a dark brown base colour and thick yellowish-brown hairs. The hind wings are transparent with a slightly brown sheen. The upper section of their long legs is flat at the sides. The feet (tarsi) have poorly developed claws. | | |

| ...ky-transparent. Their venation is clearly observable. The fore-wings lack the subcosta. Superposed in the idle state, the wings are ranging to the hind end of the abdomen. The upper section of the legs is reddish-brown to yellowish-red. Towards the feet there is a yellowish tinge. | | |

| ...tripe. The abdomen appears slightly shorter in the females and is round to oval in shape with a white or yellowish-white stripe. The wings bases and the legs of the males are yellow. Dark bands and spots are clearly visible on the legs above the red feet (tarsi). The tibia of the females are reddish. | | |

| ... entire body of the caterpillar is covered in individual, upright, light coloured hairs. The head is oval or round and clearly a blue-green colour. At the hind end a whitish tail boom is to see in the early larval stage. The caterpillars have stubby feet and are characterized by their excellent camouflage in the grasses where they live. | | |
|
| Epiphragma ocellaris prefer moist habitats such as deciduous forests, swamps or wet meadows. They are active in May and June and from September to April and suck blood.
Their larvae, which probably develop in the soil, have hairy pseudopods (feet). They feed on parts of decaying plants. | | |
