Documenting arachnid diversity around embassy pristine apartments, Bengaluru Karnataka


Author(s): Manav S

Abstract: This study investigates the diversity of arachnid species around Embassy Pristine Apartments, Bengaluru. Using the Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method during November 2023, a total of 11 spider species from 5 families were documented. Over 800 arachnid individuals were counted, with Araneus ventricosus being the most abundant species. The infestation of midge flies from Bellandur Lake significantly increased the spider population, particularly within the Araneidae family. The study highlights the biodiversity within an urban apartment complex and suggests further seasonal studies to understand the correlation between arachnid diversity and seasonal insect populations.
