Paper on behavior

I just found this interesting paper on the behavior of these spiders. I have issues with some of the techniques used in the experiments, but the results are interesting, nevertheless.

Moved from Argyrodes nephilae. Yes. I even double checked the TX spider list and A. nephilae isn't listed.

In Texas, wouldn't this be

either A. pluto or A. elevatus?

Could you please

tell me which female this one was found with? You posted more than one.

Sorry -- I meant the adult fe

Sorry -- I meant the adult female Argiope aurantia. All these Argyrodes were found in her web.

Thanks

it looks like I missed that in your comments. I'm going to add thumbnails to these to connect them all.

Ah! A thief

Read about Argyrodes and their kin here.

Nice find!

Thanks

I thought they looked different, but I wasn't sure. I'll now edit my recent entries.

By the way, do you think any of those silver colored ones are adults?

… Victor Engel, 30 July, 2010 - 9:16pm

Lynette checked on these recently

She may have information she can share with you on that. These palps look very defined so this may be a mature male.

… john and jane balaban, 30 July, 2010 - 10:47pm

Thanks

I had the same thought so already revised the listing of this from immature to adult male. If males are smaller than females like with most spiders, then the rest were probably immature, since they were smaller than this one.
