A genus of small spiders characterized by having elongated bodies and a distinctive appearance.
From Greek akron 'peak, top' + keras 'horn.' The name describes the spiders' prominent, pointed features or horn-like appendages.
Acrocera spiders are parasitoid hunters—they actually inject their eggs into other spider species, and their babies eat the host spider from inside. Nature's tiny assassins!
