Uloborus campestratus is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the spider family Uloboridae. It is found in a range from the United States to Venezuela. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Uloboridae is a family of non-venomous spiders, known as cribellate orb weavers or hackled orb weavers. Their lack of venom glands is a secondarily evolved trait. Instead, they wrap their prey thoroughly in silk, cover it in regurgitated digestive enzymes, and then ingest the liquified body.
Araneus is a genus of common orb-weaving spiders. It includes about 650 species, among which are the European garden spider and the barn spider. The genus was erected by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1757.
Uloborus walckenaerius is a spider in the family Uloboridae. Like all spiders in this family, they do not have venom glands and immobilize their prey with over 140 metres of thread.
Uloborus is a spider genus in the family Uloboridae with 72 described species. Most species occur in the tropics and subtropics, with only few species in northern America and Europe.
Uloborus plumipes is a species of Old World cribellate spider in the family Uloboridae. Common names include the feather-legged lace weaver and the garden centre spider, the latter name being due to its frequent occurrence of this spider in garden centres on the world. The species name is derived from the Latin pluma "feather" and pes "foot".
Eupalaestrus campestratus, known as the pink zebra beauty, is a terrestrial tarantula native to Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It is dark brown and has yellow striped markings near its patellae, resembling Grammostola pulchripes, although its maximum leg span of six inches makes it significantly smaller. It is known for its generally docile and tolerant temperament, and is therefore an attractive pet tarantula to hobbyists who prefer these traits. It is slow moving and generally considered hardy in captivity.
Uloborus georgicus is a spider species found in Georgia.
Uloborus gilvus is a spider species found in Italy and Greece.
Uloborus glomosus is a species of spider in the family Uloboridae. It is one of only a few Uloborus species found in North America and the only species found in Canada. Like all other species in the Uloboridae, Uloborus glomosus does not possess venom glands, relying instead on cribellate, a fuzzy non sticky silk that they use to trap and then wrap their prey. This species exhibits different disturbance behaviors depending on whether there are eggsacs present. If present the female spider will jerk at the web and if not present, then the female spider will walk to the opposite side of the web.
Eupalaestrus is a genus of South American tarantulas that was first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1901.
Uloborus umboniger, is a species of spider of the genus Uloborus. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Uloborus rufus is a species of spiders of the family Uloboridae. It is endemic in Cape Verde. The species was named and described by Günter E. W. Schmidt and Rolf Harald Krause in 1995.
Clubiona kastoni, the kaston sac spider, is a species of sac spider in the family Clubionidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Trachelas tranquillus, the broad-faced sac spider, is a species of true spider in the family Trachelidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Mastophora phrynosoma is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in the United States. Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.
Uloborus diversus is a species of cribellate orb weaver in the spider family Uloboridae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
Scytodes fusca, the brown spitting spider, is a species of spitting spider in the family Scytodidae. It is found in Central and Southern America, has been introduced into Europe, tropical Africa, Seychelles, Myanmar, China, Japan, and Hawaii.
