🕷️ New Spider Discovery: First Mating Record of Pseudomogrus cf. vittatus in Pakistan 🌍🔥

This video presents the first global documentation of copulation in the Yllenus-group jumping spider Pseudomogrus cf. vittatus, filmed on 4 November 2022 at Jagal, Haripur (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan). 🎥 The 2-minute sequence shows: • ♂ approaching with fringed forelegs, ♀ responding with a still posture • Swift mounting from behind and precise pedipalp–epigyne alignment • Prolonged copulation (~110 s) with subtle movements • Gentle, non-aggressive separation and a post-mating leg-raise display 🧬 The male shows a bold dark median abdominal band, while the female displays a pale mosaic-patterned dorsum — features suggesting regional variation or a potential undescribed species within the Pseudomogrus (Yllenus) group. 📌 Significance: • First-ever visual record of mating in Pseudomogrus worldwide • First behavioral record from Pakistan • Valuable insight into Salticid courtship and sexual dimorphism 🌐 Full scientific manuscript with detailed morphology, ethogram, and references will be available soon (under development) on www.biodiversigrapher.com. 🎥 Filmed by: Dr. Syed Aftab Hussain Shah (BiodiversiGrapher®) 📍 Location: Jagal, Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan 🗓️ 4 November 2022 – 11:37 AM 📷 Camera: Huawei Y9 (2019), 720p video Music: YouTube Audio Library #WorldFirst #SpiderMating #JumpingSpider #Salticidae #PakistanWildlife #Biodiversity #BiodiversiGrapher 🔍 Fascinated by rare spider behavior? 🌿 Subscribe to BiodiversiGrapher® – Dr. Shah for more authentic field discoveries. 🎥 Watch more on YouTube & explore upcoming www.biodiversigrapher.com 👉 Subscribe now:    / @biodiversigrapher
