The web and prey-capture behaviour of Diaea sp., a crab spider (Thomisidae) from New ZealandWA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years agoAbstract - The prey-catching behaviour of Diaea sp., a thomisid from New Zealand, is documented for the first time. This is the first detailed report of web building and predatory versatility in a thomisid spider. Diaea sp. is neither simply a web-building spider nor simply an ambush non-web-building spider. Instead, individual spiders of this species practise both of these prey-catching methods. Author(s) Robert R. Jackson, Phillip W. Taylor, Andrew S. McGill and Simon D.
