Abstract

The survey of order: Araneae was done in the agricultural area of Vijapur Taluka, Mahesana district, North Gujarat. The spider samples collection and survey were conducted from 2016 to 2018, using handpicking method. Hundred spider species and sixty-two genera, with nineteen families were identified from collections. In which, families Araneidae and salticidae were numerically dominant compared to others. In collected specimens, thirty-four species were web builders, and sixty-six species were non-web builders. The study area was connected to a forest and wasteland area, which provided an alternative habitat for the spider community. In this way, alternative habitats were conserved for spider communities, whenever agricultural areas were disturbed due to farming.
