Orb-weaver Spider
Neoscona molemensis
15.4564, 119.922
Field Notes
Description:
Araneae; Araneidae; Neoscona; Neoscona molemensis Tikader & Bal, 1981. This looks like a gravid female preparing to lay her eggs, but I am not sure. Since it is in my backyard, I should be able to keep an eye on it and record any developments.
Habitat:
Spotted this morning in our backyard. It was sitting on an unidentified plant (weed).
Notes:
I know that spiders do not have "host plants" because they are not herbaceous, but I have often regretted not including a photo of the "habitat plant", usually because I didn't think it relevant when taking the photos. Since I intend to revisit this spider to check on any developments, I thought it might be worth including a picture of the "weed".
