Argiope aurantia is a species of spider, commonly known as the yellow garden spider, [2] [3] black and yellow garden spider, [4] golden garden spider, [5] writing spider, zigzag spider, zipper spider, black and yellow argiope, corn spider, Steeler spider, or McKinley spider. [6] The species was first described by Hippolyte Lucas in 1833.
The round, bulbous abdomen is creamy in color, with parallel purply-brown zigzag lines running front to back. This distinctive pattern sets it apart from other theridiids in its area. The triangulate cobweb spider is known to prey on many other types of arthropods, ants (including fire ants ), other spiders, pillbugs, and ticks.

Females weigh 0.05–0.46 g and their body length is 7–14 mm. [7] This species is sexually dimorphic, as females are larger than males. Male body length ranges from 4 to 6 mm. V. arenata are polychromatic and their abdomen color ranges from white to yellow. [6] Some smaller, vein-like markings on the abdominal area are red. [4]
This is a striking spider with a distinctive arrow-shaped abdomen which is largely yellow, with black depressions above and variable red and black patterning below. There are 3 pairs of tubercles that are tipped with black and red at the base. The pair of tubercles at the back end of the abdomen are rather large and point outward, forming two ...
Phidippus audax are commonly referred to as "bold jumping spiders" or "bold jumpers". [8] The species name, audax, is a Latin adjective meaning "audacious" or "bold". [8] This name was first used to describe the species by French arachnologist Nicholas Marcellus Hentz, who described the spider as being, "very bold, often jumping on the hand which threatens it". [9]
The webs are oriented vertically and have a "signal" thread attached to the center that notifies the spider when prey has been captured. Unlike Argiope garden spiders, Araneus marmoreus hides in a silken retreat to the side of the web (at the end of the signal thread). The retreat can be made from leaves folded over and held together with silk ...
Cheiracanthium inclusum, alternately known as the black-footed yellow sac spider or the American yellow sac spider (in order to distinguish it from its European cousin C. punctorium), was formerly classified as a true sac spider (of the family Clubionidae), and then placed in the family Miturgidae, but now belongs to family Cheiracanthiidae.
