Bird Poop Spider

Gardens, orchards, and wooded areas, often found on the undersides of leaves or on twigs.

Carnivorous; predominantly specializes in catching specific species of male moths.

Uses aggressive mimicry by emitting pheromones that mimic female moths to lure prey. They do not spin typical webs; instead, they use a 'bolas' (a single silk line with a sticky globule at the end).

Harmless to humans; beneficial to the ecosystem as they provide natural pest control for moth populations.
