Cyclosa argenteoalba

C. argenteoalba is found in China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Russia. They are found in farmland, mountainous regions, and suburban areas, but are usually found on the edge of bamboo and wood forests where there is adequate sunlight.

C. argenteoalba usually produce two generations per year, but occasionally will produce three. Typically, they will reproduce in May, August, and sometimes October, and during these times their body mass is at its seasonal peak. After females have laid their eggs, their abdomens are noticeably smaller, which makes their reproduction easier to study. Females avoid laying eggs in their webs, instead opting to lay them in the surrounding area. Spiderlings will emerge from their egg sacs after about a month. Overwintering occurs as they mature, and then they begin building their webs in March. In comparison to other cyclosa species (C. octotuberculata and C. seduculata), C. argenteoalba have a rapid growth rate, a lower survival rate and a larger relative clutch size with smaller eggs. These characteristics lead to a larger investment in reproduction in order to counteract the lower survival rate of the species. C. argenteoalba also show a more prominent reduction in clutch size the second time they lay eggs in a year compared to the first.
