Its webs are often found to contain the nabid bug Arachnocoris trinitatis (Bergroth 1916). In a lowland forest in August-September 2003 (wet season) we censused 81 M. aurantiacus webs for occupancy by the spider and the insect. A. trinitatis showed no significant preference for webs occupied by either juvenile or adult spiders. However, it showed a preference for empty webs, suggesting that it utilizes these as a ready-made preycapture device, and possibly as a site for finding mates.Item Observations of the insect Arachnocoris trinitatus (Heteroptera: Nabidae) as an inquiline of the spider Coryssocnemis simla (Araneae: Pholcidae) in West Indies.(Zoosystematica Rossica., 2009) Sewlal, Jo-Anne N; Starr, Christopher KThe nabid bug Arachnocoris trinitatus (Bergroth, 1916) is often found in webs of the pholcid spider Coryssocnemis simla Huber, 2000. Thirty-one webs of C. simla were checked for occupancy by the spider and the insect in April 2008 in a deciduous seasonal forest in Trinidad, West Indies. Arachnocoris trinitatus showed no significant preference either for webs occupied by juvenile versus adult spiders, or for empty webs versus those occupied by C. simla.Item Preliminary Survey for Spiders on Nevis, West Indies(Living World, J.
