Patu digua

Patu digua is a very small species of spider.

The male holotype and female paratype were collected from Río Digua, near Queremal, Valle del Cauca, in Colombia.

[1] By some accounts it is the smallest spider in the world,[2] as males reach a body size of only about 0.37 mm (0.015 in)[3]—roughly one fifth the size of the head of a pin.

The use of the spider as a necrobotic gripping tool in microscopic manipulations was suggested in 2022.
