Meta menardi
The European cave spider, ラテン語:''Meta menardi'', is a long-jawed orb-weaving spider (Family Tetragnathidae)〔Locket, Millidge & Merrett, ''British Spiders vol III'', 1974, ISBN 978-0-903874-02-1〕 it is also known as the orbweaving cave spider, the cave orbweaver and simply the cave spider (in context).
== Habitat ==
They have a natural range extending from Scandinavia to North Africa and from Europe to Korea, there are also transplanted populations as far apart as Japan and Madagascar.
The adult spiders are photophobic and live in places free from light, frequently in caves and tunnels, though they can sometimes be seen outside of caves and mines as they will emerge around dusk to hunt, often using a single silk lasso line and swinging down upon their prey. They are often found in areas that are frequented by bats. The spiders are most often observed in railway tunnels and mines since these are more likely to be visited by humans. The young spiders are, after several instars, (and in contrast to the adults) strongly attracted to light〔Smithers P, ''Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society'', 2005, Vol 13; Part 6 Pages 213-216〕—probably an evolutionary adaptation which ensures the spread of the species to new areas.
