. Economic entomology. Beneficial insects; Insect pests; Thysanura. BRITISH SPIDERS. 83 CASE hair or garments, and are rather difficult to be brushed away from the adhesiveness of the thread by which they hang. There is another genus named Neriene, that comes next to this, and is similar to it in appearance, and has similar habits— also one named Pachygnatha, which is of a brighter colour (red- dish-fawn), and is distinguished by having very thick diverging mandibles. Family EPEIRID^.. Facsimile of web of Epeira diademata. The Epeiridse are the hump-backed, globose looking spiders that are usually found in gardens, often watching in the centre of a radiating geometrical web placed vertically. Many of them are very beautifully marked on the back of the abdomen. Their web differs from that spun by any other spider. The thread consists of an elastic spiral line, thickly studded with minute globules of liquid gum, whose course is crossed by radii converging to a common centre, which is immediately surrounded by several F 2.
