Fiddler crab two weeks. Fiddler crabs such as "Uca mjoebergi" have been shown to bluff about their fighting ability. Upon regrowing a lost claw, a crab will occasionally regrow a weaker claw that nevertheless intimidates crabs with smaller but stronger claws. This is an example of dishonest signalling. The dual functionality of the major claw of fiddler crabs has presented an evolutionary conundrum in that the claw mechanics best suited for fighting do not match up with the mechanics best suited for a waving display. The internal classification of the genus "Uca" is unstable, but it contains around 100 species arranged among
Nephilengys upon by the spider-eating jumping spider "Portia". At least some species shake their bodies vigorously when touched. Nephilengys Nephilengys is a genus of tropical spiders of the family Araneidae, consisting of two currently described species. (The genus was formerly placed in the Nephilidae and Tetragnathidae.) The genus "Nephilingis" has been split off from this genus. Both genera have been called hermit spiders from the habit staying in their retreats during the day; the name eunuch spiders has been used for "Nephilengys" alone. Males may sever parts of their palpal bulbs after copulation. Females are from 10 mm to 28 mm
