| phylum | Arthropoda | Cyrtarachne yunoharuensis is found in China, Korea and Japan. Spiders in this genus construct "spanning-thread webs" rather than the more typical orb webs of the family Araneidae.
The female is 5–7 mm long. The carapace is wider than long and light reddish brown. The sternum is also reddish brown, whereas the legs are yellowish brown. The abdomen is broad, wider than long, and is reddish with six main pairs of white markings. The pair in the middle of the side of the abdomen have a dark central mark and resemble eyeballs. The male is smaller, 1.5–2 mm long. It is darker than the female and lacks the abdominal pattern. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry. Get back to Orb-weaver spiders |
