Figure 4 in Construction of orb webs as nocturnal retreats by jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae: cf. Anarrhotus) in southwestern India

Figure 4. Salticid (cf. Anarrhotus) resting on its vertical platform at night (1), and views of the empty platform on the next day (2-4), when the spider could not be found in the vicinity. 3-4, Enhanced contrast images based on (2), showing details of the densely woven platform at the hub and associated radii. A small packet that might represent the remains of insect can be seen near the spider, attached to the hub, but there was no sign that the web, not sticky or adhesive, played a role in prey capture. This spider jumped and moved to nearby branches when the web was disturbed. Photographed in Kasaragod, Kerala by Prasantha Krishna.
