Like most spiders, the orbweaver has venom to subdue its prey, but most sources say the venom is not harmful to humans. The spiders eat insects and anything else that gets caught in its web. It also eats spider silk.

The spines presumably hurt the mouth of the predator, making the Spined Micrathena Spider not worth the meal. The black, brown, and white coloration may act as camouflage since this species resides in dense forests where specks of light may be all that gets through to the forest floor.

Abstract. We present the first cladistic analysis focused at the tribal and subfamily level of the orb-weaving spider family Araneidae. The data matrix of 82 characters scored for 57 arancid genera of 6 subfamilies and 19 tribes (and 13 genera from 8 outgroup families) resulted in 16 slightly different, most parsimonious by: A key to North American genera is found in Roth ().
Keys to European genera are found in Heimer & Nentwig () and Roberts (). There. Orb Weavers are a commonly seen spider in gardens and trees. They all seem to have a bulbous abdomen and build circular webs that they sit in. Many are orange, brown, and black. Legs of an Orb Weaver are generally very long, giving length to the overall size of the spider.
Males are about 6 mm long, while females can be 10 mm to 20 mm long. Levi, H.W. The orb-weaver genera Metepeira, Kaira and Aculepiera in America north of Mexico (Araneae: Araneidae). Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (5): Levi, H.W.

We tested three hypotheses concerning the function of stabilimenta in the orb weaver Gasteracantha cancriformis: 1) warning to large animals that might accidentally destroy the web; 2) prey attraction; and 3) camouflage.
One prediction of the warning hypothesis (but not of the others), that less exposed webs should have fewer stabilimentum tufts, was verified: very few Cited by: Full text of "The spiny orb-weaver genera Micrathena and Chaetacis (Araneae: Araneidae)" See other formats.
