Spiders (especially the small ones) tend to be overlooked at. Resources regarding spiders in Java (and Indonesia as a whole) are scant despite it supposedly hosting an enormous biodiversity of spiders. This guide aims to compile the spiders that have been observed and recorded in Java, and hopefully also help people in identifying them.
Main reference is the checklist compiled by Kathrin Stenchly (http://www.cacaospiders.com/IndonesianSpiders_2011.pdf), which in turn is based on data from The World Spider Catalog. Confirmed observations on inaturalist are also added. Please do notify me if you have some suggestions or spot any mistakes!
