Field observation on predation of an orb web spider (Araneae: Araneidae) by the corinnid sac spider, Corinnomma severum (Araneae: Corinnidae)

Abstract

In this short paper, we report the predation of an orb-weaving spider Neoscona sp. (Araneae: Araneidae) by a corinnid sac spider Corinnomma severum (Araneae: Corinnidae) from Thailand. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of predation of web-building spider by a spider of the genus Corinnomma observed in the field.
