Figure 101. A–D, 'nonstar' Achaearanea spp. webs (225-3, 226-0, 227-1). A, platform and gumfoot lines, surrounding a tree trunk (Ranamofana, Madagascar). B, ditto, gumfoot lines. C, gumfoot lines radiating in several directions, attached to a tree trunk and surrounding leaves (Ranamofana, Madagascar). D, ditto, gumfoot lines. E, Achaearanea sp. web covered with flies that use silk lines for resting (Fanies Island, S. Africa), the extremely simple, nonsticky, web of the argyrodine Ariamnes helps to lure nematocerous flies into proximity with the spider. F, Theridion sp., egg sac is protected in a special (nonsnare) web (Fanies Island, S. Africa). G, Chrysso sp. female and egg sac (Fanies Island, S. Africa).
