    cld1911823.jpg
  • Spinybacked Orbweaver (Thelacantha brevispina). Baliem Valley, Highland Papua, Indonesia (New Guinea).
    cld1913510.jpg
  • Spiny orbweaver (Micrathena kirbyi), female putting the final touches of silk on her egg sac. Yasuní National Park, Ecuador.
    cld2010569.jpg
  • An adult male Giant Golden Orbweaver (Nephila pilipes) is dwarfed by a gigantic female of the same species.  The male's tiny size allows him to approach the aggressive female unnoticed, or at least be considered nothing more than an insignificantly small prey item. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • The exact function of the unusual tubercles on the back of this Long-horned Orbweaver (Macracantha arcuata) is unknown, but possibly deters predation. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo)
    cld08090151.jpg
  • Golden orbweaver (Nephila sp.), female. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1401420.jpg
  • Spiny spider (Augusta glyphica), female. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar
    cld1723105.jpg
  • Attending to its web only at night, the Twig Spider (Poltys elevatus) rests by day, tucking its legs and remaining completely motionless. Its bizarre elongated abdomen gives it the amazing mimicry of a shriveled petiole, allowing the spider to remain undetected by predators. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1416948.jpg
  • Parallel-spiined Spiny Spider (Gasteracantha diardi), female with eggs of parasitoid Chloropid fly (Pseudogaurax sp.). Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld2112635.jpg
  • Humpback Cyclosa (Cyclosa insulana). Danum Valley Conservation Area, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo).
    cld1928741.jpg
  • Spiny spider (Isoxya cowani). Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1918505.jpg
  • Some of the most recognizable of all insects, ladybird beetles are brightly colored to warn predators of the potent alkaloids present in their blood, making them not only foul-smelling but also quite toxic. In a classic case of mimicry, this tiny spider (Paraplectana sp. - probably an undescribed species), carries out a convincing masquerade by means of its similar coloration and bulbous domed abdomen. East Kalimantan, Indonesia (Borneo).
    cld1816009.jpg
  • A well camouflaged tree-wrapping spider (Caerostris sp.) found in the rainforest of Ranomafana National Park in Madagascar. These spiders construct large orb webs to capture prey, but conceal themselves on a small branch when at rest. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1622846.jpg
  • Red-and-blue Opadometa (Leucauge sarawakensis), a new species of long-jawed orb-weaving spider described in 2015. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
