Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
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 Template:Cvt[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.[4]
