Introduction
Orchard Orbweavers (Leucauge venusta) are beautiful spiders that are fun to have if you have the space. They are small orbweaves found in the United States.
Geographical Range and Habitat
I have seen them all the way from swampy areas to the bushes of a University.
Husbandry
While not hard to keep, they do make large webs. They need a large enclosure or some free open cage design. The best option I feel is to put them in your gardens. They should have things to climb and the ability to build large webs, maybe 3 to 5 feet across.
Behavior
Not aggressive at all; they just want to get away. Probably will not bite unless extremely provoked like being pinned down.
Breeding

How to Acquire a Orchard Orbweaver
These you probably will just have to catch them and release them in your backyard. Pretty common.
