Speckled Orb-weaver (Araneus circulissparsus) - Arachnarium Sprout Habitat

Product Details

The Speckled Orbweaver is a beautifully camouflaged web-builder, known for its mottled colouring and delicate, architectural webs. Calm, fascinating to observe, and full of quiet personality, this species makes a wonderful introduction to keeping native spiders.

Often found resting motionless during the day, speckled orbweavers come alive at night repairing webs, hunting, and showcasing their natural behaviours. Their subtle patterning allows them to blend seamlessly into bark, leaves, and branches, making every sighting feel like a small discovery.

Perfect for spider lovers who enjoy observation, patience, and a touch of wild magic.
