Metepeira foxi
Metepeira foxi is an orb-weaving spider in the family Araneidae, first described by Gertsch and Ivie in 1936. The genus Metepeira is known for constructing distinctive combination webs consisting of a small orb web paired with a tangled, cobweb-like snare and a tubular retreat. Species in this genus are primarily found in North America, with highest diversity in western and southwestern regions. M. foxi occurs in the United States and Canada, though specific details of its biology remain poorly documented compared to better-studied congeners such as M. labyrinthea and M. incrassata.
