Abstract
The visual search and hand picking sampling method was used to collect a total of 168 individuals representing 12 families of spiders from dwellings of 3 villages in Menoufiya Govemorate. The dominant families were : Salticidae 47 % of the studied collected spiders, followed by Theridiidae and Pholcidae 13 %, Agelenidae 6.6 % and Miturgidae 6 %. The identified species of these families were: Hasarius adansoni and Plexippus paykulli (Sa!ticidae), Theridion spp. (Theridiidae), Tegenaria spp. (Agelendiae). The rare families obtained in this study were :Philodromidae, Oecobiidae, Pisauriade and Filistatidae which represented by one or two individuals. Four families of spiders were only found in dwellings habitat: Pholcidae, Pisauridae, Oecobiidae and Filistatidae. Eight families of spiders occurred in both habitats, dwellings and agroeco-systems, with considerable differences in percentages of occurence. Hence farmer houses could be considered as protecting refuges to spiders against ecological impacts such as intensive use of pesticides ..
