Araneus pratensis, openfield orbweaver, sightings in Racine Co., WI 2020-2022
Plants that Araneus pratensis, openfield orbweaver, were found on at Barnes Prairie Remnants, Racine Co., WI. 2020-2022
Araneus pratensis, a small, colorful orbweaver, was most easily found by me on southeastern Wisconsin tallgrass prairie remnants in late summer. Most of the spiders observed were located relatively close together, within a 15 acre area. I have been documenting these spiders on the remnant prairies and adjacent fields beginning in 1990. Summaries of plants these spiders were found on during the last three years are listed below.
