Abstract: Pseudicius encarpatus build two types of nests: the densely woven cocoon-like or tubular nests for molting, oviposition and over-wintering, and over-wintering, and less thick woven, dome-shaped or tent-shaped resting nests. Besides of nests the females P. encarpatus build sparsely woven three-dimension structure of arrays, the "mesh", which they use for preycapture. However, both sexes of P. encarpatus can catch the prey as cursorial hunters, as well. Predation behaviour away from and in the web is described. |
