Field Notes

Description:

Many orb-weavers build a new web each day. Most orb-weavers tend to be active during the evening hours; they hide for most of the day. Generally, towards evening, the spider will consume the old web, rest for approximately an hour, then spin a new web in the same general location.

Habitat:

Seen at a small farm.

Thanks Scott! I will have to change many spottings to match that :)
Hello. I moved the family name out of scientific name (to a tag) because scientific name is meant for Genus and species names ("binomial nomenclature") only. Cheers
