The spiderlings hatch but do not emerge from the cocoon until the following spring. To do this, they need to be agile and fast to catch their prey. Unlike the garden spider, the yellow sac spider will not make webs to hunt rather, they are active predators. After mating in late summer or early fall, females lay several hundred to a thousand or more eggs inside a brown, silk, spherical cocoon about an inch in diameter. The next yellow spider that you might want to be aware of is the black-footed yellow sac spider. It is thought they gain some nutrition from minute insects and even miscellaneous organic matter caught in the web. At night, females consume the sticky strands of the web and spin new ones. They eat anything that doesn't tear itself loose from the web. Black and yellow garden spiders find their prey by sensing vibrations in the web. All spiders are carnivores that prey primarily on insects. Now the thinking is that the stablementum attracts insects or keeps birds from flying through the web. They are orange to dark red on the legs and head space with a yellow/brown or beige abdomen. Females can grow to 0.59 inches (15mm) in body length with males growing to 0.39 inches (10mm) in body length. Earlier the stablementum was thought to give stability to the web. Woodlice spiders prey mostly on woodlice, hence the name. Spider experts disagree about why these spiders spin stablementa. Females spin orb webs (spiral sticky threads suspended on non-sticky spokes) with a conspicuous white zigzag structure in the middle called the stablementum. The abdomen is egg-shaped and conspicuously marked with black and yellow. The segment to which the legs and mouthparts attach is covered with very short, shiny, white scales. Males often hold the front pairs of legs close and the hind pairs of legs close together so that the silhouette resembles a St. The third pair of legs is about half as long as the other legs. The bodies of females grow to a little more than one inch long males are much smaller. It has several common names: black-and-yellow argiope, black and yellow garden spider, corn spider, golden garden spider golden orb-weaver, writing spider, yellow garden argiope, yellow garden orb-weaver, and zipper spider.
