Abstract
Spiders are among the most common animals and
are abundant, widespread in almost all terrestrial ecosystems. They choose
various ideal habitats to build their nests for feeding, and breeding. All
spiders have spinning glands, which they employ to produce traps and webs as
well as egg sacs (Cocoons). Several case studies of spiders living in
conjunction with plants are presented, along with descriptions of spatial and
temporal adaptations in spider plant partnerships. This research paper
represents the nest building choices of spider and its plant interactions.
Jatropha integerrima is a shrub to small tree native to Cuba has an excellent
plant architecture, physical traits of the leaf, its abundance in their habitat
and of leaf modification structures such as rosette shaped clusters of leaves
or glandular trichomes, strongly influenced the spiders to protect and provide
an excellent home for the life cycle of spiders and access to their prey.
Females are usually larger in size which prefers long and large leaves found in
Jatropha integerrima to build their breeding nests.
