Biology:Holcolaetis
From HandWiki
Holcolaetis is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders).
Like Euryattus and Thiania bhamoensis, these spiders build a flat, densely woven egg sac that is not contiguous with the silk of the nest. Holcolaetis posits the egg sac on the trunks of trees.[1]
