Description :
Spiders are nature pest control. Survey on spiders’ diversity conducted at Sayagata Jungle and Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay Eco Park of Bramhapuri, (MS) India, during winter season (Oct-2021 to Jan-2022) by using methods like point observation and random sampling using trails. During study total 08 species belonging to order Araneae in the class Arachnida, and 05 families, viz., Pholcidae, Hersiliidae, Araneidae, Lycosidae, and Sparassidae were recorded. These types of surveys are important for the study of the prevalence of the spider population in given habitats and to create a biodiversity database of spider fauna at the respective study site. The recorded species include both hunting spiders and orb-web weavers. This helps in showing that they are both good predators and preys. There is a need to study the seasonal variation of the spider fauna in these regions and the conservation of this ecosystem which has been a habitat for multiply species of spider fauna.
