Abstract
There have been but few studies of spider life histories; most of the work on these animals has been taxonomic and morphological. The Peckhams (1890), Fabre (1919), Peters (1931–1937) and others have studied various phases of spider behavior, and Savory (1928) summarized the work done on spiders. The writer has found no records of studies on the effect of temperature and humidity upon spiders. The present paper attempts to show the influence of these physical factors upon the early stages of Agelena naevia Walckenaer.Keywords
