European garden spider
The European garden spider is a large orb-weaver that spins round webs. It is native to Europe and was introduced to North America. Its white markings form a clear cross on its back, which is why it is easy to spot in the right place.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Mottled white markings across the upper abdomen form a cross made of four or more segments.1
- Body colour ranges from extremely light yellow to very dark grey.1
- Adult females measure 6.5 to 20 mm in length. Males are smaller, at 5.5 to 13 mm.1
- Females hang head down in the centre of a round orb web, with one claw hooked to a signal line.1

Bwe kiruma
- Naaza ekifo ekirumiddwa era okiteekeko ayisi olw'obulumi. Funa obuyambi bw'abasawo singa obulumi bungi, busaasaana oba omuntu awulira bubi.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekuluma: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
Females sometimes eat the male directly after mating.1
The cross-shaped markings are formed in cells filled with guanine, a by-product of protein metabolism.1
Spiders also prey on each other, but only just before, during or after mating. Their size, mating experience and hunger affect whether they attack.1
