Insects of Cedar Creek
Order ARACHNIDA
()
I have only begun (1997) to become acquainted with the spiders and other
arachnids of Cedar Creek, so the following discussion can only be considered
preliminary. A useful reference is
How to know the Spiders by B.
J. Kaston. Pitfall trapping in CCESR old fields yields primarily wolf spiders
(Lycosidae) and some crab spiders (Thomisidae). Families collected in old
field sweeps are primarily crab spiders (Thomisidae and Philodromidae),
Araneidae, Salticidae, Tetragnathidae, and Dictynidae. More than 50 species
have been collected, but a number require determination by a specialist.
