Gibbaranea omoeda (Thorell, 1870)
Occurrence: Gibbaranea omoeda lives in spruce woods. We can find it in mountains and lower altitude, but in higher height above sea level is more abundant.
Description: Its color is very variable, it can be light beige, green, orange or black. It always has two humps on its abdomen. Adult female can grow to about 1 cm long.
Period of occurrence: Juveniles are seen from summer to fall, adults are seen from April to July.
Web: Gibbaranea omoeda weavs its webs on branches of spruces, rarely between trees. The web is dense and not too much strong. The spider reacts to a prey soon. Signal thread (sometimes not significant) is connected with branch. There is spider having a rest and is perfectly camouflaged. Spider is sitting on its web in day rarely.
Food: Gibbaranea omoeda hunts small flying insects.
