Spiny Spider. "They have six pointed abdominal projections frequently referred to as "spines." The carapace, legs, and venter are black, with some white spots on the underside of the abdomen. Some may have the abdominal dorsum yellow instead of white, may have black spines instead of red, or may be almost entirely black dorsally and ventrally. This species of spider does not live very long. In fact, the lifespan only lasts until reproduction, which usually takes place the spring following the winter when they hatched. Development of spiny orb weavers takes place late in the year, and a new web is constructed each night to make sure that the structure is secure. Webs are constructed mostly by adult females because male species typically hang from a single thread close by the nest of a female. The web hangs at a slight to distinct angle from perpendicular, where the female rests near the bottom, facing down, awaiting her prey." |
