While anecdotal reports and popular media have long suggested that some spiders arrange debris in their webs to resemble a larger spider, this behavior has not been formally documented in the scientific literature. Here, we provide the first scientific record of this unique behavior in two orb-weaving spiders (Cyclosa spp., Araneidae) from the tropical forests of Peru and the Philippines. We report that these spiders construct stabilimenta composed of detritus and silk, arranging the debris in the web into a shape that visually resembles the silhouette of a larger spider. This structure may serve as a “decoy” that serves an anti-predator function of misdirecting or repelling the attacks of some predators. 2025 true true true false false GOLD 2026-05-25 false http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2045-7758 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 1 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 Könyv Book 23 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 Folyóiratcikk Journal Article 24 0 0 0 Könyvrészlet Chapter in Book 25 0 0 0 Könyv Book 23 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciaközlemény Conference paper 31 0 0 0 Egyéb konferenciakötet Conference proceedings 32 0 0 0 Oltalmi formák Protection forms 26 0 0 0 Disszertáció Thesis 28 0 0 0 Egyéb Miscellaneous 29 0 0 0 Alkotás Achievement 22 0 0 0 Kutatási adat Research data 33 0 0 0 2026 0 1 1 1 1 Q1 false false false false 2025-11-05T09:11:21.892+0000 1 1 0 7 0 true 10003133 Language 10002 /api/language/10002 Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 128076477 /api/authorship/128076477 1 0.143 true false true Author 10091111 /api/author/10091111 Oláh György true true Olah George true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128076478 /api/authorship/128076478 2 0.14285715 false false Torres Phil true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128076479 /api/authorship/128076479 3 0.14285715 false false Pomerantz Aaron true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128076480 /api/authorship/128076480 4 0.14285715 false false Kirby Richard true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128076481 /api/authorship/128076481 5 0.14285715 false false Baxter Simon true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128076482 /api/authorship/128076482 6 0.14285715 false false Grados Juan true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PersonAuthorship 128076483 /api/authorship/128076483 7 0.143 false true true Reeves Lawrence E. true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 29983127 /api/publicationidentifier/29983127 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true IDENTICAL 10.1002/ece3.72371 https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.72371 false true PublicationIdentifier 30398080 /api/publicationidentifier/30398080 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 001608903700001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001608903700001 false true SjrRating 11574447 /api/sjrrating/11574447 111 0.24 journal RatingType 10002 /api/ratingtype/10002 sjr true true ClassificationExternal 2303 /api/classificationexternal/2303 true 2303 true Q1 DIRECT true true /api/publication/36375165 <div class="JournalArticle Publication long-list"> <div class="authors"> <img title="Forrásközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-core-icon.png"> <img title="Idézőközlemény" style="float: left" src="/frontend/resources/grid/publication-citation-icon.png"> <div class="autype autype0"> <span class="author-name" mtid="10091111"><a href="/gui2/?type=authors&mode=browse&sel=10091111" target="_blank">Olah George ✉ (<span class="authorship-author-name">Oláh György</span> <span class="authorAux-mtmt"> Biológia</span>) </a> </span> ;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
