Missing Sector Orb Spinner (Zygiella x-notata)
I usually clear away some of the nearby spiders webs when I put out the moth trap, but even so there’s often some that get caught and eaten. This Missing Sector Orb Spinner (Zygiella x-notata) has its home in the frame I often put the trap on, and regularly gets a meal of some kind. This species tends to live around houses, mostly outside, making a web that has a 2 sections missing the cross threads.
