nyirokszervi
Nyirokszervi is a small, bioluminescent arthropod first described in 1978 by Polish entomologist Jan Kowalczyk in his monograph on Carapacemite. It belongs to the order Araneae within the family Nyirokszervidae. The species is characterized by a translucent carapace, six long filamentous appendages, and a distinctive red-orange larval form that emits a weak glow when disturbed. Nyirokszervi is primarily found in high-altitude cloud forests of the Carpathian range, residing in leaf litter and under bark. The species is nocturnal, feeding on small insects and detritus, and is noted for its rapid, zigzag escape gait.
Morphologically, adult Nyirokszervi exhibit sexual dimorphism; males possess a pair of enlarged pedipalps used during courtship.
Although not harvested for commercial use, Nyirokszervi has attracted research interest due to its photoreactive proteins,
