Eight cross spiders (Aruneus diademrus) were exposed overnight (16 h) during webbuilding activity to pulsed 9.6-GHz microwaves at average power densities of 10, I , and 0.1 mW/cm2 (estimated SARs 40, 4, and 0.4 mW/g). Under these conditions, 9.6-GHz pulsed microwaves did not affect the web-spinning

1769 prey animals were collected from the space webs of linyphiid-like spiders, i.e. actual prey, and were compared with more than 110,000 animals from nearby pitfall traps and colored traps (yellow), i.e. potential prey, by means of the Ivlev Index. The catch found in the webs proved to be very sel
