Life cycle of Misumenops pallida (Araneae, Thomisidae)

Abstract: Postembryonic development of Misumenops pallida (Keyserling) (Araneae, Thomisidae), one of the most abundant predator species in soybean fields in Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) was studied. The life cycle was observed in the laboratory from egg sacs collected in the field, and from egg sacs spined in the laboratory by gravid females collected in the field. Results indicated that instar length and feeding rate increased throughout the life cycle being higher in females than in males. Greater mortality was o… Show more

“…Spiders are both insectivorous and arachnivorous, but insects comprise 75e90% of their diet (Nyffeler, 1999). M. pallidus shows a clear sexual dimorphism, where adult females are bigger and more active predators than males (Minervino, 1993). In addition, this species exhibits good camouflage abilities, as many other species in the family (Legrand and Morse, 2000;Schmalhofer, 2001;Thery and Casas, 2002).…”

“…En la Argentina, se han realizado estudios de desarrollo y de ciclos de vida de distintas arañas (Galiano, 1967(Galiano, , 1972Galiano & Goloboff, 1996;González, 1979González, , 1982González, , 1984González, , 1987, 1988González et al, 1997González et al, , 1998Estévez et al, 1984), pero muy pocos sobre arañas en agroecosistemas (Galiano, 1991;Minervino, 1993;Armendano, 2008;González et al, 2009). En particular, no existe hasta el momento información sobre la biología y ecología de A. veniliae.…”

El estado IV presentó total movilidad, pudo tejer una tela para capturar a sus presas y se dispersó desde la ooteca hacia el exterior.…”
