Fun Marbled Orb-weaver Facts For Kids
Spiders may be scary but here we will introduce you to a beautiful-looking spider, who is rather very cute. The marbled orb-weaver (Araneus marmoreus) is a kind of spider that is famous for its oval-shaped abdomen and beautiful patterns.
They have marble-like patterns of white, yellow, black, and orange. Their habitat includes fields, forests, shrubs, and suburban areas in North America, North Asia, and Europe.
These spiders hatch from their eggs in the spring and reach maturity in the summer. Hence, the mating season of the spiders also arrives in the summer.
They eat all kinds of insects, and they don't go foraging for them. They make traps for their prey and wait for them by hiding nearby.
The spiders breed in a large number and don't have any great threat, so there is an abundance of them. The little venom they have also doesn't hurt humans, so they don't possess any harm to us.
