Garden Spider

Argiope appensa (Walckenaer 1841)

Argiope appensa

provided by wikipedia EN

Argiope appensa, also referred to as the Hawaiian garden spider[2] or banana spider, is an orb-weaving spider belonging to the family Araneidae.

Distribution and habitat

This species occurs on several islands in the western Pacific Ocean, in Hawaii and from Taiwan, Australia, New Caledonia, New Guinea to Indonesia.[1]

It has been introduced to all main islands of Hawaii. It inhabits a wide variety of habitats, from coasts to upland forests.[3] During the rainy season from June to November, this species is common in sunny edge areas, such as along roadsides and cultivated area.[4]

Description

This species shows an evident sexual dimorphism. The strikingly black and yellow females are 5.1–6.4 cm (2–2.5 in) long, including legs, while the brown males reach only about 1.9 cm (0.75 in).[3]

On Guam, where Argiope appensa is ubiquitous, it is frequently visited by Argyrodes argentatus, that steals food from the host.[5] Following the brown tree snake and the subsequent extinction or near-extinction of many of the island's small birds, spider populations on Guam exploded in response to decreasing predation and competition.[6] Nature writer David Quammen has called Argiope appensa "almost certainly one of the larger species" which were encountered in vast numbers during his research trip to Guam for the book The Song of the Dodo.[7]

Biology

Argiope appensa construct webs mainly in bushes, between branches, and in human constructions. The webs are rather large and show a white zig-zag silk decoration developed from one corner to the center of the web.[3] These decorations, usually called stabilimenta, could be a warning device to prevent birds from inadvertently destroying the web.[4]

Cette espèce présente un dimorphisme sexuel, la femelle mesure jusqu'à 70 mm et le mâle 20 mm.

Alimentation

Sa toile a été particulièrement étudiée à Guam car elle compte moins de stabilimenta que dans le reste de sa distribution[3].

Argiope appensa ( Italian )

provided by wikipedia IT

Argiope appensa (Walckenaer, 1841) è un ragno appartenente alla famiglia Araneidae.

Descrizione

Gli epigini esaminati della maggior parte delle femmine sono molto simili, in vista laterale, a quelli di A. modesta illustrati dall'aracnologo Levi in un lavoro del 1983.[2]

L'embolus ha forma di una lunga collana dalla punta smussata.[2]

Caratteristica distintiva nell'ambito del genere è il pattern peculiare dell'opistosoma, sia ventralmente che dorsalmente.[2]

Distribuzione e habitat

La specie è stata reperita nelle isole Hawaii e in varie località dell'area compresa fra Taiwan e Nuova Guinea[3]; nelle Filippine uno degli esemplari rinvenuti ed esaminati è una femmina delle isole Sulu, nel 1959 da Chrysanthus.[2]

Tassonomia

Al 2014 non sono note sottospecie e dal 2012 non sono stati esaminati nuovi esemplari[3].

Fêmea matura (vista ventral) e macho (dorsal)

Argiope appensa é uma espécie de aranha araneomorfa com distribuição natural em várias ilhas do Oceano Pacífico Ocidental.[1] Foi introduzida no Havaí, Taiwan e Nova Guiné. Ocupa uma grande variedade de habitats, desde a região costeira às florestas do interior.

Descrição

As fêmeas atingem até 7 cm de comprimento corporal, com o conspícua coloração em preto e amarelo. Os machos acastanhados, atingindo apenas cerca de 2 cm de comprimento.[2]

No Havaí a espécie é conhecida por aranha de jardim.[1] Em Guam, onde Argipoe appensa é ubíqua, é frequentemente predada pela espécie cleptoparasítica Argyrodes argentatus,[3] sendo conhecida por aranha-banana.[4]

Na cultura popular

Esta espécie foi usada no episódio "Exposé" da série de TV Lost, filmada no Havaí. Nesse episódio é chamada Latrodectus regina (ou aranha-medusa), uma espécie de aranha viúva-negra fictícia da família Theridiidae. Os "machos" usados também eram do sexo feminino já que os machos são realmente muito menores.
