The purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, is a low‐lying carnivorous plant that uses pitcher‐shaped leaves to catch arthropod prey for nutrition. Spiders make up a significant portion of these prey. To determine the tendency of specific spider taxa to be captured by the plant, we compared the composition (by taxonomic family) of three spider assemblages: those captured by the plant, those residing on or over the plant, and those found nearby in the local environment. Although there were some broad similarities within the three spider assemblages, significant differences existed when specific families and guilds were considered. While some families (e.g., Linyphiidae and Lycosidae) and guilds (e.g., low sheet/tangle weavers) were heavily represented in all three assemblages, other groups varied, and we found that the taxonomic makeup of victimized and resident spiders did not always reflect their environmental abundances. Moreover, spider assemblages captured by S. purpurea were extremely similar across distant locations regardless of environmental spider assemblage composition, suggesting that S. purpurea is very selective in its spider capture regimen.

Nous rapportons, pour la première fois au Québec, la présence de l’araignée sauteuse Phidippus audax Hentz, 1845 (Salticidae Blackwall, 1841) et de la tétragnathe verte Tetragnatha viridis Walckenaer, 1841 (Tetragnathidae Menge, 1866). Nous décrivons les conditions de leur découverte et commentons leur répartition. Nos observations concernant l’araignée P. audax suggèrent que cette espèce soit à la fois une espèce indigène (trouvée en milieu naturel en Mauricie et à Longueuil), mais aussi une espèce introduite comme en témoigne sa découverte dans des camions importés du Minnesota. La tétragnathe verte fut trouvée à 2 endroits éloignés (Contrecoeur et Terrebonne), dans des habitats très différents au cours des mois de juin et de septembre 2010
