About this species
Leucauge argyra is a spider found in North, Central and South America (from United States to Brazil and the Caribbean). Leucauge argyra (and many other Leucauge spp.) is known to be a colonial species, with spiders maintaining individual territories/orb webs within a scaffolding of shared support lines maintained by the group. Colonies of multi-generational individuals are often seen with some levels of size stratification (where larger individuals/adults occupy the highest web positions and smaller individuals/juveniles occupy lower web positions). It is known for being the host of the Hymenoepimecis argyraphaga, a Costa Rican parasitoid wasp.
