Ordgarius

	Ordgarius ''Ordgarius'' is a genus of orb-weaver spiders first described by Eugen von Keyserling in 1886.

	Ordgarius Sexspinosus ''Ordgarius sexspinosus'' is a species of spider in the orb-weaver spider family Araneidae, found from India to Japan and Indonesia. ''O. sexspinosus'' is a bolas spider. Rather than using a web, adult females catch their prey by using a line with one or two sticky drops (a "bolas") which they swing. Description The adult female of ''Ordgarius sexspinosus'' has a body length of about 7–10 mm. The carapace is about 3.6–3.7 mm long. It is dark brown and has six projections (tubercules). Two are arranged in the centre of the cephalic (head) part of the cephalothorax, the larger behind the smaller. Four are arranged in a transverse row in the thoracic part, two projecting forwards and two slightly behind projecting sideways. The legs are yellowish brown with brown rings. The first leg is the longest. The abdomen is usually longer (up to 6.9 mm) than wide. The upper surface is grayish brown with complicated white patterns. The "shoulders" of the abdomen are hu ...

picture info	Bolas Spider A bolas spider is a member of the orb-weaver spider (family Araneidae) that, instead of spinning a typical orb web, hunts by using one or more sticky "capture blobs" on the end of a silk line, known as a "bolas". By swinging the bolas at flying male moths or moth flies nearby, the spider may snag its prey rather like a fisherman snagging a fish on a hook. Because of this, they are also called angling or fishing spiders (although the remotely related genus ''Dolomedes'' is also called a fishing spider). The prey is lured to the spider by the production of up to three sex pheromone-analogues. Bolas spiders have been treated as either the whole or part of either the tribe "Mastophoreae" or Mastophorini, the subfamily Mastophorinae, or the informal group mastophorines. Recent studies show that the genus ''Celaenia'', which does not use a bolas, belongs in the same taxonomic group.

Description A female described in 1886 had a total length of 13.0 mm. The cephalothorax was 5.0 mm long and almost as wide. Its upper surface was reddish brown, with white hairs and five projections, a long forward-pointing one at the front and four smaller ones behind. The two rows of eyes were slightly recurved. The sternum was longer than wide, and was yellow with brown tints, as were the chelicerae. The legs were yellow with brown rings, mostly not fully closed, and were covered with fine white hairs. The first leg was longest, with a total length of 15.5 mm. The abdomen was wider (10.2 mm) than long (9.6 mm). Its upper surface was yellow with brown spots and i ...

	Ordgarius Magnificus ''Ordgarius magnificus'', the magnificent spider, is a bolas spider in the family Araneidae. It is endemic to forests along the Australian east coast. Description Females are up to 14 mm long and almost as wide; males reach only 2 mm. Females are creamy-white with a pattern of pink and yellow spots on the abdomen, and a crown of white and reddish tubercles on the head. Habits They live in trees or tall shrubs, rarely less than 2 m above the ground. The easiest way to find them is to search for clusters of large, brown egg-sacs suspended among foliage; the spider will be found nearby, at day sheltering in a retreat made from rolled leaves and silk. Like all bolas spiders, the female attracts male moths with an airborne pheromone A pheromone () is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species.
