Trash Line Spider / Pauk

It is an orb weaver, and it is easily recognized by the way it strings together the dead bodies of insects and other debris and hangs it near the center of its web (photo 3). Notice the odd looking conical shaped abdomen. Stacks dead insects in two strings (trash lines, like its common name) above and under the centre of the net. These spiders are small; the females range from 5.3 mm to 7.5 mm, and the males range from 3.6 mm to 4 mm.
