Oncopeltus miles (Blanchard, 1852) View in CoL and Argiope argentata (Fabricius, 1775) ( Araneae : Araneidae )

Because of the observation described above, two specimens of O. miles were collected and each one placed on a web of Argiope argentata ( Fig. 3). The specimens were placed on the web at 2: 15 p. m. Observations of the bugs trying to escape from the web were made for several hours. After a couple hours, both specimens of O. miles eventually escaped from the web. As in the previous example of S. grossa , the spider did not approach the bugs, and made no attempt to attack the specimens.
