Field Notes

Description:

I have been calling these Leucauge dromedaria but as information becomes more available I see I will have to update my sites and just name them Leucauge sp.

Habitat:

at night although they are in their web twenty four hours, among grasses and low shrubs

Reference Links:

Leucauge, Leucauge granulata (Walckenaer, 1841) Roughened Silver Orb Spider

Its a nice effect, I am rebuilding the awful little spider website I built a few years ago and these are mostly a lot of backlog. I am finding that things I thought were all the same species are several species I did not expect to find. Having fun!
