trashline orbweavers like this one (Cyclosa insulana) are calm and not easily provoked, but this one had a very eventful couple of minutes - as she was wrapping up some prey when i approached, a fly was spooked into her web by my presence. then, with her attention divided between the old prey and the new, she noticed me and scurried to slot herself back into her line of debris, deciding that the ideal dinner atmosphere required more peace and quiet and less of me

If you're still taking requests about sparklings, Blackarachnia and Wreck gar sparkling?

er mother is nonetheless prouhsorry this took a bit, lifes been rough lateyly TwT but meet the child of black aracnia and wreck gar! Cyclosa when wreck gar met black aracnia, he didnt care that she was a techno-organic or what she looked like under her helmet, he liked her for her and she couldnt help but let this idiot into her spark. sometime later, a little sparkling came along and made them a little family ^^ she is smart like her mom but when it comes to common sense and reading the room, im afraid she's just like her father TwT" she turns into a tiny garbage truck and she loves nothing more then going to the junkyard and scavenging anything she can use to make what she calls "art" at one point she accidentally almost blew herself up by making a bomb with her sculpture and her mother had to come in and immediately defuse it . . not her brightest moment but her spark was in the right place -w-" her mother is nonetheless proud of her sparkling and wreck gar couldnt be happier everytime she shows off a new creation wholesome AF my dudes TwT

even though trashline orbweaver webs are famously conspicuous due to the insect corpses and random debris they cover them with, the spider herself usually does a good enough job of hiding among her collection. however, this Cyclosa insulana's sheer girth and lack of trophies are practically shining a spotlight on her (and she deserves it) (minus the increased risk of predation)

mid to late autumn is when the female trashline orbweavers that survived the summer like this Cyclosa insulana start making little balls of ginger lint and scattering them around. she had three of these very recognizable egg sacs on nearby stems, with two right next to each other and one further away. despite their conspicuous appearance she didn't really make an effort to hide them, let alone make room for them on her actual web. wouldn't want to make a mess in your home, says the spider that famously covers it in random shit

Humped Trashline Orbweaver (Cyclosa turbinata) at my parents' house. Cyclosa spiders incorporate the outer husks of their insect prey into a line of sticky silk that runs across the center of their web. The spider themselves hides within this lone of debris and dead insects and waits for prey to get caught in its web, then rushes out to feed. The "trash line" appears to camouflage them from bird predators, making the spider difficult to find among the trash. . . . . . . . I have to say it: Boba Fett used this technique in Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back to hunt down the Millennium Falcon. You were all thinking it 😏 . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #ontariospiders #cyclosa #cyclosaturbinata #orbweaver #trashline #trashlineorbweaver #stabilimenta #spiders #spiderphotography #macrophoto #macrospider #macronature #macro_world #invert_macro #naturalhistory #ontarionature #arachnidsofinstagram #starwarsreference #starwars #bobafett #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #norfolkcounty #naturephoto (at Norfolk County, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQsiYIAAtR/?igshid=17f1qbfjn958v
