Abstract

Anelosimus eximius (Araneae, Theridiidae) is a social neotropical spider which occupies the rain-forests of South America. Each colony counts one to several nests connected by silk threads. Thousands of individuals of both sexes, as well as immatures, may inhabit, repair and clean a single web and cooperate in prey capture, while the females alone monitor egg-sacs and young individuals.
