What is the Habitat of the Garden Spider?
Garden Spider
Garden spiders are members of the group known as orb weavers due to the intricate structure of their webs. These spiders are highly adaptable and consume a variety of prey. As their name suggests, garden spiders are most commonly found in gardens, meadows and clearings.
The most important determining factor in the dwelling place of the garden spider is the presence of twigs, trees, branches or plant leaves on which to construct webs. Garden spider webs are notoriously strong and may reach more than 12 inches in diameter.
Most garden spider habitats are also equipped with a variety of potential prey. After prey becomes entangled in the web, garden spiders immobilize their victims and drag them to the center of the web. As is true of all spiders, prey must be liquefied with digestive enzymes before consumption is possible.
