Singa (spider)

Singa is a genus of orb-weaver spiders in the family Araneidae. These spiders are typically small to medium in size and are found in a variety of habitats around the world, including Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa.

Description: Singa spiders are characterized by their orb-shaped webs, which they construct in vegetation or other suitable locations. The spiders themselves often exhibit a cryptic coloration, blending in with their surroundings. Key features include their eight eyes arranged in two rows, their characteristic orb-weaving behavior, and their relatively small size compared to some other orb-weaver genera.

Behavior: Singa spiders are primarily active during the day and construct their webs to trap flying insects. They are typically shy and will retreat to the edge of their web or drop to the ground when disturbed. These spiders are not considered dangerous to humans.

Taxonomy: The Singa genus contains a number of species, each with its own unique characteristics and distribution. Taxonomic classification within the Araneidae family can be complex, and ongoing research may lead to revisions in the classification of Singa species.
