Mastophora bisaccata is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is also known as Mastaphora obesa.[1][2] It is found in the United States and Mexico.[3][4][1][5] Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.[6]
