Abstract

Many orb-weaving spiders break the central lines of the hub at the end of web construction. Nevertheless, very little is known of how spiders break these lines and whether this behaviour differs among taxa. Here, we describe details of how Leucauge mariana (Taczanowski, 1981) breaks the central lines of the hub. Breaking hub lines varies among individuals of a single species, and may differ between species.
