Scanning electron micrographs of the cribellate spigots in N. albofasciata. a-c The cribellate spigots appeared as singular, long shafts with pagoda-like tiered tips. d-f All spigots are all approximately the same length (10 μm). These segmented and flexible structure enable to bent itself and conjoin together with adjacent other spigots. Scale bars indicate 5 μm (a, d, e) and 2 μm (b, c, f)
