Grass spider
Agelenopsis sp.
39.2801, -76.6887
Field Notes
Description:
They are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs and chelicerae with fangs that inject venom. Spiders differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax and abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel.
Habitat:
Found in a variety of places, but typically on or near the ground among grasses or other foliage, or in the corners of man-made structures. In the early morning, their dew-covered funnel webs are visible in the grass in large numbers.
