Tent Spider

Since these spiders build tent like structures that appear like tents when seen from side, they have got the name tent-building spiders or Tent Spiders (Family: Cyrtophora).

 

Their webs are so intricate with neatly woven threads that have almost perfect square gaps appearing like a perfect mosquito net.

 

The tent-like webs can be of one layer or many layers and any damage is fixed at the earliest.

 

They lay eggs in greenish egg-seeds and can have a continuous egg-pods which is strung together and appears like bean-seeds stitched together in a string. This string of egg-seeds is kept at a place near the peak of the tent in a vertical manner.
