Zygiella nearctica is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in Canada and the United States. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Orb-weaver spiders are members of the spider family Araneidae. They are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields and forest. "Orb" can in English mean "circular", hence the English name of the group. Araneids have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs.
The lovebug is a species of march fly found in parts of Central America and the southeastern United States, especially along the Gulf Coast. It is also known as the honeymoon fly or double-headed bug. During and after mating, matured pairs remain together, even in flight, for up to several days.
Mesozygiella is an extinct genus of orb-weaving spider, with one known species, Mesozygiella dunlopi, dating from the Early Cretaceous, making it the earliest orb-weaver yet discovered. Two male specimens of the species were found embedded in amber in Álava, northern Spain. The fossils provide direct evidence that the three major orb weaving families, namely Araneidae, Tetragnathidae and Uloboridae, had evolved by this time, about 140 million years ago. They probably originated during the Jurassic. All three families very likely have a common origin.
Zygiella x-notata, sometimes known as the missing sector orb weaver or the silver-sided sector spider, is a spider species in the family Araneidae. They are solitary spiders, residing in daily-spun orb webs. Z. x-notata is a member of the genus Zygiella, the orb-weaving spiders. The adult female is easily recognized by the characteristic leaf-like mark on her posterior opisthosoma, caudal to the yellow-brown cephalothorax.
Zygiella is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by F. O. Pickard-Cambridge in 1902. In 2015, Parazygiella was determined to be a taxonomic synonym of Zygiella, and its species were moved to Zygiella.
Zygiella atrica is a species of spider.
Septentrinna is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by A. B. Bonaldo in 2000.
Tapixaua is a monotypic genus of South American corinnid sac spiders containing the single species, Tapixaua callida. Both male and female were first described by A. B. Bonaldo in 2000, and has only been found in Brazil and Peru.
Tupirinna is a genus of corinnid sac spiders first described by A. B. Bonaldo in 2000. As of April 2019 it contains only three species.
Guizygiella is a genus of Asian long-jawed orb-weavers that was first described by M. S. Zhu, J. P. Kim & D. X. Song in 1997.
Yaginumia is a genus of Asian orb-weaver spiders described by Allan Frost Archer to hold the single species, Yaginumia sia. This species was moved from Aranea to Zygiella in 1942, before moving to this genus in 1960. It has only been found in China, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.
Manda nearctica is a species of spiny-legged rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae. It is found in North America.
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.

Zygiella dispar is a species of orb weaver in the family of spiders known as Araneidae.
Philodromus marxi, the metallic crab spider, is a species of running crab spider in the family Philodromidae. It is found in the United States.
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.
Zygiella carpenteri is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae.
