They make a distinct spiral wheel-shaped web, or &#8220;orb,&#8221;  that most people like to see. When spraying around homes I like to move these guys if they are too close to the house. There are many variations of the orb weaver spider and their physical appearances may vary but they all construct that telltale familiar Orb web. These webs can actually span up to eight feet when made by some of the larger spiders of the species. <\/p>\n<p>Here in Arizona, the larger orb webs that I see average probably around two feet. The webs are constructed of a stretchy silk that they lay out in a spiral pattern. The orb weaver spider builds this web to catch flying insects. The spider pictured\u00a0I believe is called the <strong>Spotted Orb Weaver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_600\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-600\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/wp-content\/uploads-AZBugCo\/2010\/09\/Orbweaver-Spider-in-Web.jpg\" title=\"Orbweaver Spider in its Web\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/wp-content\/uploads-AZBugCo\/2010\/09\/Orbweaver-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Orbweaver Spider\" title=\"Orbweaver Spider in its Web\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-600\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Orbweaver Spider in Its Web<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many variations of the orb weaver spider and their physical appearances may vary but they all construct that telltale familiar Orb web. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,69],"tags":[3],"class_list":["post-599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bugs","category-cool-bugs","tag-spiders","wpcat-10-id","wpcat-69-id"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azbugco.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
