Mastophora yeargani

provided by wikipedia EN

Mastophora yeargani is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in the United States.[1][2][3][4] Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.[5]
