Leucauge
''Leucauge'' () is a spider genus of long-jawed orb weavers, with over 160 species and fully pantropical distribution. The genus was first documented in Scottish zoologist Adam White's 1841 ''Description of new or little known Arachnida''. Charles Darwin had suggested the name of the genus and collected the first specimen in May 1832, later named ''L. argyrobapta''. A vague description and the loss of the only specimen left the genus ill-defined. ''Leucauge'' developed into something of a wastebasket taxon containing 300 loosely related species, until research in the year 2010 resolved ''L. argyrobapta'' as a synonym of the quite common '' L. venusta'' and allowed revision and reclassing of the genus. However, a 2018 paper restored ''Leucauge argyrobapta'' as a separate species. The body and leg shapes and the silver, black and yellow markings of ''Leucauge'' females make identification of the genus relatively easy. They have two rows of long, slender curved hairs on the femu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leucauge Mariana
''Leucauge mariana'' is a long-jawed orb weaver spider, native to Central America and South America. Its web building and sexual behavior have been studied extensively. Males perform several kinds of courtship behavior to induce females to copulate and to use their sperm. A particularly unusual feature of sex in ''L. mariana'' is the formation of mating plugs during copulation. These masses sometimes block the access of subsequent males to the female’s genitalia and can prevent copulations. Unlike other species, ''L. mariana'' forms the mating plug from materials contributed by both the female and the male; the male alone cannot make a functional plug. Most mating plugs in other animals are typically viewed as a male tactic used to increase his chances of paternity, without participation of the female. Female participation in creating a mating plugs, and her presumed benefit from them, have led to multiple studies of sexual selection on the sexual behavior of ''L. mariana''. A ...

Leucauge Argyrobapta
''Leucauge argyrobapta'', or Mabel's orchard orb weaver, is a species of long-jawed orb weaver in the spider family Tetragnathidae. It is found in Southern part of the USA, Mexico and Brazil, further testing most be done to see if its is found in more of Central and South America. Identification The males of this species differs from those of '' L. vetusta'' by the male palpal bulb, although some are easier to differentiate than others. Females of both of this species are practically identical, the main way to differentiate these species would be by the distribution. ''L. argyrobapta'' is found from the south of the USA (mainly Florida), all the way to Brazil. While ''L. vetusta'' is found from the North of the USA to Canada. Taxonomy Adam White first described the Leucauge at the rank of subgenus, and the described the type species, then being ''Linyphia argyrobapta''. This species was collected by Charles Darwin in 1832, in the Rio de Janeiro area. Though this specimen wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Journal of Arachnology 29:354–366. It is found in Asia, United States and Brazil. ''Leucauge argyra'' (and many other ''Leucauge spp.'') is known to be a Social spider, colonial species, with spiders maintaining individual territories/orb webs within a scaffolding of shared support lines maintained by the group. Colonies of multi-generational individuals are often seen with some levels of size stratification (where larger individuals/adults occupy the highest web positions and smaller individuals/juveniles occupy lower web positions).

Leucauge Venusta
''Leucauge venusta'', known as the orchard spider, is a long-jawed orbweaver spider that occurs from southern Canada to Colombia, along the East coast, reaching into the central US, also in South Asia.The web is often oriented horizontally, with the spider hanging down in the center. It is distinctively colored, with leaf-green legs and sides (which can sometimes vary to a dark green or even orange). The underside of its thorax is spotted with yellow and black, the top is silvery with brown and black streaks. The neon yellow, orange or red spots on the rear of the abdomen are variable in size among individuals and sometimes absent. This species is parasitised by a wasp larva which attaches itself externally at the junction of the cephalothorax and abdomen.BBC "Life in the Undergrowth"/"Intimate Relations" A similar species in the same genus is ''Leucauge mariana ''Leucauge mariana'' is a long-jawed orb weaver spider, native to Central America and South America.

Leucauge Celebesiana
''Leucauge celebesiana'', commonly called the black-striped orchard spider, is a species of spider belonging to the family Tetragnathidae. It is found from India to China, Japan, Sulawesi and New Guinea. Like many of its congeners, this is a colourful and distinctive spider. It has a body length (excluding legs) of . The abdomen is white with yellow-green sides with black stripes separating the white from the coloured flanks. Another black stripe runs right down the middle. This species constructs a web inclined at 45° and several individuals often build these webs close together.
