This spider, which is very common in Singai>ore, makes a small perpendicular snare 
of from 4 to 7 inches in diameter, in which it has a free segment. In this space is a line of 
grey silk with debris or sometimes cocoons fastened al regular intervals. This line is not 
of the nature of a trap line as it is fastened to the top suspension line, and the spider lives 
in centre of web and appears like one of the pieces of debris. In some instances there is 
debris at lower side of centre. One spider when disturbed shook its web violently.
