Field Notes

Description:

This Cyclosa sp. (commonly known as the Trashline Orbweaver) is just starting to build a "Trashline" web decoration.

Habitat:

This Trashline Orbweaver was spotted in our backyard. Its web was moored between two Banana Plants (Musa x paradisiaca L.), generally known in the Philippines as Saging, but in the local dialect, where I live, it is called Batag.
