Signature spiders get their name from the zigzag design embossed on the web, that is believed to serve a camouflage function.The X shape is called the St. Andrew’s cross because it is believed that the saint was martyred on a cross of this shape rather than the conventional cross shape. The zigzag ribbons of bluish-white silk that form a full or partial cross through the centre of the orb web. Only the female spider builds the webs-medium-sized orb webs, occupied day and night, on low shrubby vegetation.The spider sits right in the middle of the web at all times.
