Male Aysha velox

Aysha is a genus of spiders that are often called "sac spiders" because of the dwellings that they create for themselves to take shelter in. A common example of this genus is the Aysha velox spider pictured here. As is true with most other spiders, the pedipalps of the males are much larger than those of the females.
